Tato kniha je posledním útokem D.H. Lawrence proti materialistické a zintelektualizované západní civilicazi. Jeho poetický komentář Knihy Zjevení odsuzuje pokrytectví průměrných vrstev a vyzdvihuje pohanské hodnoty zničené křesťanstvím, vědou a demokracií. Lawrencova fascinující interpretace symbolů, zvířat a čísel odkrývá současně nitro jeho samého.
