{"product_id":"the-man-who-died","title":"The Man Who Died","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his last novel  published less than a year before his death  D. H. Lawrence takes up the theme of Christs resurrection and his final days on earth. Lawrence recounts Christs agonizing journey from death back to life with alarming realism: his initial painful awakening  the utter disillusionment of living beyond his brutal death  his bewildering encounters with strangers and friends  and finally  his redemptive sexual relationship with the priestess of the pagan goddess Isis. The story expands from its Christian roots to embrace Lawrences abiding faith in the life-force apparent in every aspect of the natural world. The combination of a pure idealism with a pure physicality enriches these characters both as human beings and as symbols of beliefs too often held in opposition. The language of this book is indulgent for Lawrence - it contains the sharp focus and lyrical intensity of poetry without losing the subtlety of detail that characterizes his prose. For his final work  it seems that Lawrence has encapsulated a lifetime of extraordinary vision into one profound and exquisite parable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964230004789,"sku":"ByrdShop_0880013532","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780880013536.jpg?v=1770453341","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-man-who-died","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
