This collection of three provocative and deeply philosophical works by Georges Bataille challenges societal norms and delves into themes of death, eroticism, and existentialism. My Mother is a surreal and disturbing tale of a young man’s sexual awakening and his complex relationship with his mother. Madame Edwarda explores themes of divinity and debauchery, while The Dead Man examines the boundaries of the human experience.
