A review by blueyorkie
O Homem que Morreu by D.H. Lawrence
4.0
Due to its brevity, “The Escaped Cock” could be considered a short story. But it is more than that: a philosophical tale, a fable.
The text consists of two parts. The first presents us with a reborn but somewhat disillusioned Christ, a Christ that we will find in the second part, perfecting his resurrection in the experience of sex and paternity. This text mixes biblical and pagan themes under the regenerating action of the sun and the Mediterranean. Better, in a style that borders on poetry.
