Description

Description

Taboo and sacrifice, transgression and language, death and sensuality are the themes that Georges Bataille explores in this original and thought-provoking work. Bataille challenges conventional discourses on the erotic, examining the intersections of desire, death, and sensuality across various subjects, including prostitution, mythical ecstasy, and the psychology of desire. Through his inquiry, Bataille argues that eroticism is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that extends beyond the realm of sexuality, encompassing a deeper psychological quest that is inextricably linked to death. This provocative and insightful work offers a unique perspective on the nature of desire and its relationship to the human experience. First published in 1986, this reprint edition of Bataille's work provides a rare opportunity to engage with his original ideas and perspectives on the human condition.
