Charles is a modern libertine, dedicated to vice and depravity, while Robert is a priest so devout that he is nicknamed l'Abbe. When the sexually wild Eponine intrudes upon their suffocating relationship, anguish, delirium, and death ensue.L'Abbé C is a shocking, unnerving narrative about the intense and terrifying relationship between twin brothers. Charles is a modern libertine, dedicated to vice and depravity, while Robert is a priest so devout that he is nicknamed 'l'Abbé'. When the sexually wild Eponine intrudes upon their suffocating relationship, anguish, delirium, and death ensue. Charged with sensuality and a heightened, dreamlike atmosphere, this novel portrays the darkest and most profound aspects of human experience.
A psychological novel in which the emotions of the characters determine the movement of the story from beginning to end. The translation is remarkable * The New York Times Book Review *
Bataille speaks about man's condition, not his nature. Bataille has survived the death of God * Jean-Paul Sartre *
