Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) wrote over 100 ‘rags-to-riches’ novels, often about teenage boys forced by circumstances to earn their own living selling newspapers, blacking boots, carrying luggage, or tending store. Alger’s heroes are honest, temperate, generous, and brave, good in a fight and ready to protect a weaker boy from a bully. Alger stresses work, study, and thrift as ways to escape poverty. Alger’s villains, on the other hand, are usually dishonest, sometimes alcoholic or brutal.

This is the 1927 book that years later inspired the movie of the same name. It is a book about criminal violence, corrupt politics and police, and illicit sex. The City of New York, from the late colonial period up to the early twentieth century, was a bustling hub of commerce, industry, and immigration. For many the city was the gateway to a new life in America, and for many others it was a place to steal a buck from their fellow New Yorkers and visitors to the city with thievery, fraud, and vice—in neighborhoods such as the Five Points, the Bowery, Hells Kitchen, and the Water Front.

The story of the physical relationship between the aristocratic protagonist Constance Chatterley and gamekeeper Oliver Mellors - which occurs right under the nose of her wheelchair-bound husband, Clifford. In exploring the class system of the early 20th century, the novel also touches upon the declining coal-mining industry, its effect on the workers, and the politics which surrounded it. Yet possibly the most important theme is the individual’s need for physical as well as intellectual satisfaction.

Herbert George "H. G." Wells (September 21, 1866 – August 13, 1946) was a prolific English writer in many genres.

"Suscitava in Connie un misto di compassione e di bramosia selvaggia, e un folle, ardente desiderio fisico." "L'amante di Lady Chatterley" è il libro forse più scandaloso della letteratura inglese del Novecento. Scritto in Italia tra il 1926 e il 1928, venne proibito in Inghilterra per oscenità e pubblicato in patria solamente nel 1960 dopo un lungo processo che fece epoca. Ambientato nella profonda Inghilterra, vuole rappresentare il contrasto irriducibile tra il vitalismo dei sensi e l'atrofizzazione della società industrializzata.

John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment.

L'amante di Lady Chatterley, di D.H.Lawrence, fu definito "il più indecente romanzo del mondo", tanto è vero che nonostante sia stato scritto tra il 1926 e il 1928, fu pubblicato soltanto nel 1960. Quest'opera fu infatti proibita per molti anni, a causa della sua esplicita rappresentazione del sesso, e fu al centro di un sensazionale processo per oscenità che fece molto scalpore nell'Inghilterra di quell'epoca, in verità, neanche troppo lontana.
