The book became a best seller largely on account of explicit scenes of a sexual nature and use of four letter words.

En sus páginas, D. H.

Moving to London and a teaching position in Croydon his writing attracted the attention of Ford Madox Ford, editor of The English Review, and he commissioned him to write ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’. Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers'.

H. Lawrence. El paso del tiempo y las conquistas sociales han aligerado al libro del fardo de su supuesta polémica, pero no han eclipsado ni un ápice el brillo de su belleza.
