The Originals The Plumed Serpent - Om Books

• A provocative tale of myth, power, and passion in revolutionary Mexico.
• First published in 1926, The Plumed Serpent is one of D.H. Lawrence's most daring and controversial novels. Set in post-revolutionary Mexico, it tells the story of Kate Leslie, an Irishwoman who becomes entangled in the vision of Don Ram?n and General Cipriano, two charismatic leaders intent on reviving the ancient Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent.
• As Kate is drawn deeper into their world of ritual, myth, and power, she confronts questions of faith, passion, and submission that test the limits of her independence. Vivid in its portrayal of Mexico's landscapes and rich in symbolic force, the novel blends politics, mysticism, and desire into a sweeping narrative of cultural rebirth.
• Provocative, unsettling, and deeply imaginative, The Plumed Serpent remains a modernist classic that challenges readers to reconsider the boundaries between freedom and authority, love and devotion, myth and reality.
