The Rainbow

Exploring the intricate sexual dynamics and relationships within the Brangwen family across three generations, this novel delves into desire as both a natural and spiritual force. D. H. Lawrence's candid portrayal of these themes led to a significant obscenity trial in 1915, resulting in the seizure and destruction of all copies. The controversy surrounding the book rendered it unavailable in Britain for over a decade, highlighting its provocative nature and the societal tensions of the time.
