Description
Historia del ojo is a masterwork of erotic literature that combines Georges Bataille's distinctive surreal prose with his preoccupations with sex, death and faith. This work explores the relationship between the unconscious mind and the human experience, revealing the hidden meanings behind everyday images.
The novel follows a young woman named Simone as she transgresses societal norms of behaviour, embodying both the desire for pleasure and the consequences of sin. Through her actions, Bataille examines the complex interplay between desire and mortality, revealing that true satisfaction is always tinged with death.
This edition includes an extensive essay by Mario Vargas Llosa, "El placer glacial", as well as the striking illustrations of Hans Bellmer, a renowned surrealist artist. A unique and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to confront their own desires and fears.
