St. Mawr / The Man Who Died by D. H. Lawrence
A two-part collection juxtaposing a realist novella about a disenchanted Englishwoman who, stirred by the raw power of a fiery stallion, leaves a stifling marriage and England for the American Southwest in search of authenticity and a more instinctive, vital life, with a short symbolic tale in which a man undergoes a startling bodily awakening that repudiates religious dogma and celebrates sensual, earthly renewal; together the pieces probe the tensions between instinct and civilization, erotic and spiritual longing, and the yearning for personal rebirth.
