My Mother is a frank and intense depiction of a young man's sexual initiation and corruption by his mother, where the profane becomes sacred, and intense experience is shown as the only way to transcend the boundaries of society and morality. Madame Edwarda is the story of a prostitute who calls herself God, and The Dead Man, published in 1964 after Bataille's death, is a startling short tale of cruelty and desire. This volume also contains Bataille's own introductions to his texts as well as essays by Yukio Mishima and Ken Hollings.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
