Review
"This book about the notorious 15th-century serial killer of young children, written by France's famous connoisseur of transgression-the man the surrealist Andre Breton labeled an 'excremental philosopher'-represents a marriage not made in heaven, perhaps, but surely nowhere on this earth ... the fact is that The Trial of Gilles de Rais gives us Bataille at his most accessible-he had been trained as a medievalist librarian, after all-and is probably, taken in its entirety, the best thing now available in English on one of the most bizarre figures in European history." -- New York Times Book Review

1st Printing. 285pp. Translated by Richard Robinson. Georges Bataille presents the case of the most infamous villain of the Middle Ages: Gilles de Rais. Fascinated with the depths of human experience-the meeting points of sexuality, violence, ritual, spirituality, and death-Bataille examines with dispassionate clarity the legendary crimes, trials and confessions of this grotesque and still-horrifying 15th-century child-murderer, sadist, alchemist, necrophile and practitioner of the Black Arts. From the library of Patrick J. Kearney. Trade paperback. Light shelfwear. Very Good. Seller Inventory # 109627
