Synopsis
Ithell Colquhoun was a leading British surrealist artist and writer whose love of the esoteric and the occult had a profound influence on her work. No where is this more apparent than in the weird and wonderful alchemical novel "Goose of Hermogenes".An unnamed woman must escape her uncle's island when his sinister attentions fall upon an heirloom - a priceless jewel in her possession - that may help in his tireless efforts to conquer death.Gothic, erotic and dreamlike, "Goose of Hermogenes" is a dizzying work of surrealist imagination. This new edition features five of Colquhoun's watercolour paintings originally painted to illustrate the novel. However one wants to approach this obscure tale, it remains today as vividly unforgettable and disturbing as when it was first published by Peter Owen in 1961.
