    by Charles M. Stang ...

    by Robin Darling Young, Joel Kalvesmaki, Columba Stewart, Charles M. Stang, Fr. Luke Dysinger ...
    The Gnostic Trilogy is the best-known and most important work by the ascetic philosopher and teacher Evagrius of Pontus. Among the writers of his age, Evagrius stands out for his short, perplexing, and absorbing aphorisms, which provide sharp insight into philosophy, Scripture, human nature, and the natural world.

  • Paris Spleen and On Wine and Hashish

    by Charles Baudelaire ...
    Translated by Maurice Stang ...
    Set in a modern, urban Paris, the prose pieces in this volume constitute a further exploration of the terrain Baudelaire had covered in his verse masterpiece, The Flowers of Evil: the city with all its squalor and inequalities, the pressures of time and mortality, and the liberation provided by the sensual delights of intoxication, art and women. Published posthumously in 1869, Paris Spleen was a ... Read more

    by Charles Baudelaire ...
    Translated by Keith Waldrop ...

  • Anthology of Black Humour

    by Andre Breton ...
    Translated by Mark Polizzotti ...
    This is Breton's definitive statement on l'humour noir, one of the seminal concepts of Surrealism. In his provocative anthology of the writers he most admires, Breton discusses the acerbic aphorisms of Swift, Lichtenberg and Duchamp, the theatrical slapstick of Christian Dietrich Grabbe, the wry missives of Rimbaud, the manic paranoia of Dali, the ferocious iconoclasm of Alfred Jarry and Arthur ...

  • The Dedalus Book of Decadence

    Moral Ruins

    by Brian Stableford ...
    The Dedalus Book of Decadence looks south to sample the essence of fine French decadent writing. It succeeds in delivering a range of writers either searching vigorously for the thrill of a healthy crime or lamenting their impuissance from a sickly stupor. Andrew St George in The Independent "An invaluable sampler of spleen, everything from Baudelaire and Rimbaud to Dowson and Flecker. Let's hear ... Read more

    by Guy de Maupassant ...
    The Horla is presented as a series of diary entries written by an educated, increasingly tormented gentleman living in solitude on his country estate near Rouen. His initial feelings of malaise and feverish restlessness soon give way to a terrifying certainty: he is not alone. He is being slowly, subtly drained of his life force and sanity by an invisible, parasitic entity, a creature he names the ... Read more

  • Nightmares of an Ether-Drinker

    by Jean Lorrain ...
    Translated by Brian Stableford ...
    None of Jean Lorrain’s biographers has contrived to discover exactly when or why he began taking ether, or how much of it he took before realising (too late) that it was an extremely bad idea. The drug certainly helped provide the feverish, nightmarish atmosphere of these wonderfully decadent and sophisticated tales, and many of the apparitions with which they are populated.Brian Stableford’s ...
