The Complete Works of Lautréamont

Author: (French) Lautréamont, translated by Che Jinshan
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2001-01-01
Features: This is a more destructive figure than Rimbaud; a pathological madman suffering from profound linguistic delirium; an obscure yet revered precursor of surrealism; a literary excavator deemed "the literary master of tomorrow" by the discerning eyes of Guillaume Apollinaire; and of course, an actual prodigy who died young. This book is the first complete collection of the 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 is like flipping an umbrella upside down—the entire literature"—this truly captures the power of Lautréamont.
