Penguin USA. 06/01/1995. Reprint. D. H. Lawrence's THE RAINBOW, declared obscene when it was published in 1915, is the passionately written chronicle of three generations of a Nottingham farming family. Tom Brangwen marries a widow named Lydia Lensky; Lydia's daughter Anna marries her cousin Will, a woodcarver, and has a large family. Their daughter, Ursula, leaves their simple rural world and becomes a schoolteacher--much as Lawrence himself did. She falls in love with Anton Skrebensky and, when he is called away to war, responds to an ardent fellow teacher, a feminist and epitome of the "new woman" named Winifred. The struggles of Ursula and her sister Gudrun to find their way in a changing world are continued in Lawrence's WOMEN IN LOVE. Originally published at $10.00 You save 88% off the cover price!

Random House Inc. 09/01/1994. Reprint. 304 pgs. Philip Roth's 1969 novel--brilliant, bawdy, shocking, and hilarious--tapped into the so-called "sexual revolution" of the late 1960s in its eagerness to break taboos. Its confessional frankness and irreverent take on family life changed American literature forever. Structured in the form of a long session with his psychoanalyst, the book explores lawyer Alexander Portnoy's failures as a man and a lover. Portnoy’s troubles can be traced to the repressive, hypocritical, and anti-Semitic culture in which he was raised--and more specifically, in his mind, to his comically overbearing Jewish mother. The book was not only a best-seller; it has been called one of the best American novels ever. Echoing the tradition of the great Jewish standup comics like Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl, PORTNOY’S COMPLAINT went on to influence such famously neurotic American pop culture icons as Woody Allen and Jerry Seinfeld.
