Little is known about the enigmatic Comte de Lautréamont aside from his birth to a French chancellor in Uruguay and his travel to Paris, where he died at a young age soon after writing The Songs of Maldoror. At once an inspiration for the surrealist movement and the dying breath of romanticism, Lautréamont’s beautifully macabre work occupies a unique place in literary history. Its disquieting juxtaposition of strange and unrelated images and the profound savagery of its revolt against the human condition set it apart from anything written before or since. This edition of Maldoror includes the author’s only other published work, consisting of his earlier poems.
