Lautréamont

    Tento francouzský básník, známý pod pseudonymem Comte de Lautréamont, zanechal nesmazatelnou stopu v moderní literatuře. Jeho dílo, charakteristické temnou a revoluční vizí, zásadně ovlivnilo surrealistické a situační hnutí. Lautréamont, považovaný za jednoho z „prokletých básníků“, proslul svou inovativní a provokativní poetikou. Jeho jediná vydaná díla jsou dodnes studována pro svou jedinečnou schopnost narušovat konvenční vnímání a předjímat avantgardní umělecké směry.

    • Andre Breton described Maldoror as -the expression of a revelation so complete it seems to exceed human potential.- Little is known about its pseudonymous author, aside from his real name (Isidore Ducasse), birth in Uruguay (1846) and early death in Paris (1870). Lautreamont bewildered his contemporaries, but the Surrealists modeled their efforts after his black humor and poetic leaps of logic, exemplified by the oft-quoted line, -As beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella.- Maldoror 's shocked first publisher refused to bind the sheets of the original edition--and perhaps no better invitation exists to this book, which warns the reader, -Only the few may relish this bitter fruit without danger.- This is the only complete annotated collection of Lautreamont's writings available in English, in Alexis Lykiard's superior translation. For this latest edition, Lykiard updates his introduction to include recent scholarship.

      One of the earliest and most astonishing examples of surrealist writingInsolent and defiant, the Chants de Maldoror, by the self-styled Comte de Lautréamont (1846-70), depicts a sinister and sadistic world of unrestrained savagery and brutality. One of the earliest and most astonishing examples of surrealist writing, it follows the experiences of Maldoror, a master of disguises pursued by the police as the incarnation of evil, as he makes his way through a nightmarish realm of angels and gravediggers, hermaphrodites and prostitutes, lunatics and strange children. Delirious, erotic, blasphemous and grandiose by turns, this hallucinatory novel captured the imagination of artists and writers as diverse as Modigliani, Verlaine, André Gide and André Breton; it was hailed by the twentieth-century Surrealist movement as a formative and revelatory masterpiece.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

      Maldoror and Poems
    • Les "Chants de Maldoror" sont une œuvre radicale qui attaque l'humanité et son créateur. Maldoror, figure mythique incarnant le mal absolu, remet en question les idéaux de pureté du créateur. À travers des images archaïques et agressives, l'œuvre exprime un profond mépris pour l'humanité, apparaissant aujourd'hui comme un chef-d'œuvre moderne.
