Features: This is a more destructive figure than Rimbaud: a morbid lunatic suffering from profound linguistic delirium; an obscure yet revered pioneer of surrealism; a textual excavator deemed "the literary master of tomorrow" by the perceptive Jean-Paul Sartre; and, of course, an early deceased genius. This book is the complete works of the French poet Lautréamont in China, including his masterpiece Les Chants de Maldoror, as well as his fragments Poem I, Poem II, and seven letters. "Opening Lautréamont turns the entire literature upside down like an umbrella"—this truly captures the power of Lautréamont.
