Beschreibung
Breton and Bataille, two people live in the same age find it difficult to tolerate each other, clash, with their works, in the world of literature. Breton attacks Batailles base materialism in his Second Manifesto of Surrealism and Bataille in turn argues that the surrealists suffered from an Icarian complex in his Visions of Excess. My chief aim of this book is to, by analyzing Bretons surrealist romance Nadja and Batailles erotic novel Story of the Eye, map out how they treat desire and female body differently in the modern city.
