Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Chants de Maldoror
C'�tait un jeune homme d'une originalit� furieuse et inattendue, un g�nie malade et m�me franchement un g�nie fou. Les imb�ciles deviennent fous et dans leur folie l'imb�cilht� demeure croupissante ou agit�e; dans la folie d'un homme de g�nie il reste souvent du g�nie la forme de l'intelligence a �t� atteinte et non sa qua lit�; le fruit s'est �cras� en tombant, mais il a gard� tout son parfum et toute la saveur de sa pulpe, � peine tr0p m�re.
