› Find signed collectible books: 'Maldoror and Poems'Book summary:Insolent and defiant, the Chants de Maldoror, by the self-styled Comte de Lautreamont (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, Andre Gide and Andre Breton; it was hailed by the twentieth-century Surrealist movement as a formative and revelatory masterpiece.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Maldoror and the Complete Works'Book summary: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. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Chants De Maldoror ; Poesies I Et II ; Correspondance'Book summary:De la peste, du pus et des poux : tel pourrait être le leitmotiv de cet invraisemblable petit brûlot, tout entier nourri de violence, d'idées morbides et de délires à la limite du supportable. Et que n'ont pas supporté les bien-pensants de l'époque, les mêmes qui, à Charleville, méprisaient Rimbaud et l'accusaient, comme on accusa Lautréamont, de vouloir tuer la poésie. Mais le vertige et la démesure furent plus forts que les réactionnaires : Maldoror, le double maléfique de Lautréamont, en crachant son poison et son fiel, jetait les bases d'une des oeuvres les plus énigmatiques et les plus fascinantes de notre poésie.
Alchimie délirante d'un esprit dément, sublime perle noire née d'un champ d'ordures, Les Chants de Maldoror demeurent l'une des rares traces de la fulgurante trajectoire d'Isidore Ducasse, mystérieusement foudroyé en pleine jeunesse. Sa mort, après son oeuvre illuminée, allait alimenter sa légende et le faire entrer dans le club très fermé des poètes mythiques. --Karla Manuele [via]
