Las novelas de Raymond Roussel son puzzles gigantescos de im�genes e historias con una extra�a l�gica carnavalesca. Locus Solus hace un recorrido por el jard�n-museo de un exc�ntrico millonario que, como el propio autor en la vida real, colecciona ins�litos objetos con fren�tico y psicod�lico racionalismo. Escrito tras las Impresiones de �frica, Locus Solus est� presidido por Martial Canterel, un personaje como reci�n salido de una novela de Julio Verne, de quien Roussel dijo una vez que no se deb�a pronunciar su nombre �si no se est� de rodillas�. Canterel, docto cient�fico cuya inmensa riqueza no limita su prol�fico ingenio, lleva a un grupo de visitantes a recorrer �Locus Solus�, su apartada finca situada cerca de Par�s. Uno por uno ir� presentando, demostrando y exponiendo los descubrimientos e invenciones de su f�rtil y enciclop�dica mente. A medida que los inventos se van tornando m�s elaborados, aumenta en paralelo la riqueza y brillantez de las historias. El flujo de su imaginaci�n se convierte en una riada, arrastr�donos en un torrente de fantas�a e hilaridad.
