The Blue of the Sky Pocket Edition

Synopsis of The Blue of the Sky:

After the publication of three titles by Georges Bataille in La sonrisa vertical, now it is time for another classic of erotic literature. Bataille wrote The Blue of the Sky in 1935, but did not release it for a long time due to the troubling times in Spain. It wasn’t until 1957, upon a friend's suggestion, that this great French writer decided to share it with the public.

This piece delves into the transgression of moral norms, seeking a dangerous depth of the blue sky that attracts and repels us. London, Paris, Barcelona, form a topography of perdition where Troppman, through drunken nights and strange celebrations, gets closer to a new form of purity—the communion with death, illuminated by the sordid.

Georges Bataille was known for exploring themes such as ideologies, death, ecstasy states, and sex, all present in this work.
