📗 Libro en inglés HELIGABALUS OR THE CROWNED ANARCHIST

Antonin Artaud's novelized biography of the third-century Roman Emperor Heliogabalus is both his most accessible and his most extreme book. Written in 1933, when Artaud was preparing his legendary Theatre of Cruelty, HELIOGABALUS is a powerful concoction of sexual excess, self-deification, and terminal violence. Reflecting its author's preoccupation with the occult, magic, Satan, and esoteric religions, HELIOGABALUS assembles an entire worldview from the raw materials of insanity, sexual obsession and anger.
