Paperback. The Dead Man, (originally published as Le Mort), is Georges Bataille's classic tale of devotion, depravity and damnation. It follows Marie, who, after witnessing the sudden death of her lover, wanders naked and grieving through the night streets of a French town, sinking ever deeper into depravity as she seeks to escape the agony of loss. The Solar Anus (L'anus Solaire) is a short surrealist text, written by Bataille in 1927. It deals with death, decay, disasters, impotence, ennui and excrement, and contains references to the sun - which brings life to the Earth, and death to those exposed to its unrestrained energies. This edition contains R J Dent's brand-new modern English translation of both texts, and afterword by Bataille, and an introduction by R J Dent with Jack Sargeant. It is illustrated throughout with photographs by Alexandria Bryan. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
