St. Mawr & The Man Who Died
About this ebook
In St. Mawr, a woman's encounter with a noble stallion inspires her to seek a new life full of vitality. Abandoning both her brittle homeland and her sterile marriage, she sets out on a journey of self-discovery that takes her all the way to the mountains of the American West.
Lawrence's final work, The Man Who Died, offers an intimate portrait of Christ after his resurrection. With his second chance at life, he rediscovers the world and its sensuous gifts, ultimately finding the meaning he seeks with a priestess in a temple of Isis.
Originally published in Paris as The Escaped Cock, the story was later revised and retitled.Discover more
