The Man Who Died
by D. H. Lawrence
In his latest novel, published less than a year before his untimely death at the age of forty-five, D.H. Lawrence deals with the theme of Christ's resurrection and his last days on Earth. Lawrence follows Christ's painful journey from the dead to life with disturbingly disrespectful realism, depicting a story from his first painful awakening to the possible redemptive sexual relationship of the pagan goddess Isis with her nun. The story goes beyond its Christian roots to discover and acknowledge Lawrence's unwavering belief in the life force evident in every aspect of the natural world. For his latest work, Lawrence incorporated a lifetime of extraordinary vision into a profound and elegant analogy.
