Paperback. Condition: New. This complete collection of writings published for the first time in English includes "Story of a Little Girl," about the Catholic priest who sexually molested her sister; "The Sacred," a collection of poems and fragments on mysticism and eroticism; notes on her association with contr-attaque and acephale, and her involvement with the Spanish civil war and the early years of the Soviet Union; a compendium of correspondence with her beloved sister-in-law and tortured love letters to Bataille; and an essay by Bataille about Laure's death of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-five. "People describe Laure as pure, dissolute, dark, luminous. 'I drank, I bathed in her radiant purity' Jean Bernier says. Leiris writes about her lyrically in fourbis and frele bruit as 'the saint of the chasm.' Bataille calls her uncompromising, pure, and sovereign. It is tempting to romanticize Laure -- in the most sublime and violent sense -- as consumptive poet, a fervent revolutionary, Bataille's great love. But if she is radiant and dirty, she is also insolent. That, it seems, is what saves her." --Jeanine Herman "Colette Peignot, a.k.a.Laure, is one of the more fascinating and intense women writers of the past century. Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris described her as "one of the most vehement existences [that] ever lived, one of the most conflicted." They summarized her volatile personality as "[e]ager for affection and for disaster, oscillating between extreme audacity and the most dreadful anguish, as inconceivable on a scale of real beings as a mythical being, she tore herself on the thorns with which she surrounded herself until becoming nothing but a wound, never allowing herself to be confined by anything or anyone." In other words, Laure was the epitome of what Bataille would dub the "sovereign" individual." --Jason DeBoer, Absinthe Literary Review "By the time one emerges from this compilation of autobiographical and biographical sketches by and about her, of poems, scattered notes and fevered letters, one can't help feeling that her true masterwork was her ability to make others react to and remember her." -- Mark Polizzotti, London Review of Books Laure (1903-1938) was a revolutionary poet, masochist Catholic rich girl, and world traveler.Toward the end of her life she became the lover of French writer Georges Bataille. Her writings and her real life story were remarkable in their violence and intensity, and her relationships with Bataille and Michel Leiris clearly influenced their works.

Condition: Très bon état. in-12, broché, 98 pp. Edition originale des écrits de Colette Peignot (1903-1938) publiées par Georges Bataille et Michel Leiris avec des notes et une brève présentation : "Avant de mourir, elle a marqué formellement le désir que son témoignage ne reste pas incommuniqué. Mais la misère inhérente à tout ce qui est littérature lui faisait horreur : car elle avait le plus grand souci qui puisse se concevoir de ne pas livrer ce qui lui apparaissait déchirant à ceux qui ne peuvent pas être déchirés". La justification du tirage, limité à 200 exemplaires numérotés et strictement hors commerce, précise qu'"aucun exemplaire ne sera remis autrement qu'à titre personnel". Notre exemplaire porte le n°62, sans mention de destinataire.

Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. Edition originale. EDITION ORIGINALE de ce recueil comportant des extraits de textes érotiques de Laure (Colette Peignot 1903 à 1938) rédigés pendant l'été 1938, quelques mois seulement avant sa mort. Cette édition fut publiée par Georges Bataille son dernier compagnon et Michel Leiris au printemps de l'année suivante à un tirage limité à 200 exemplaires. Michel Leiris et Georges Bataille décrivaient parfaitement sa personnalité et sa vie très tourmentée : « Est-il besoin d'ajouter qu'on ne saurait réduire à quelque image définie que ce soit l'une des existences les plus véhémentes, les plus traversées de conflits qui aient été vécues ? Avide de tendresse et avide de désastres, oscillant entre l'audace extrême et la plus affreuse angoisse, aussi inconcevable à la mesure des êtres réels qu'un être de légende, elle se déchirait aux ronces dont elle s'entourait jusqu'à n'être qu'une plaie, sans jamais se laisser enfermer par rien ni par personne ». Broché avec une couverture souple dans un état moyen, intérieur en bon état, format 19,5X12cm, 96 pages.
