Features: On November 1928, when this book was put on trial in London for obscenity, a total of forty-three famous writers signed a letter in support of it, including British authors such as George Bernard Shaw, Arnold Bennett, H.G. Wells, T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Julian Huxley, and Lawrence Houseman, as well as American writers like Ernest Hemingway, Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Moreover, the renowned sex psychologist Havelock Ellis (also translated as Ellis) praised it as not only an excellent novel written by a highly cultured author but also one with special significance in psychology and sociology. With a completely faithful pen and an unambiguous style, it presents a unique aspect of sexual life that exists within us today. This book is also the origin of British novels.
