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.
