Guilty is a searing personal record of spiritual and communal
crisis, wherein the death of god announces the beginning of
friendship. It takes the form of a diary, recording the earliest
days of World War Two and the Nazi occupation of France, but this
is no ordinary day book: it records the author s journey through a
war-torn world without transcendence. Bataille s spiritual journey
is also an intellectual one, a trip with Hegel, Kierkegaard, Blake,
Baudelaire, and Nietzsche as his companions. And it is a school of
the flesh wherein eroticism and mysticism are fused in a passionate
search for pure immanence. Georges Bataille said of his work: I
teach the art of turning horror into delight. This new translation
of Guilty is the first to include the full text from Bataille s
Oeuvres Completes. The text includes Bataille s notes and drafts,
which permit the reader to trace the development of the book from
diary to draft to published text, as well as annotations of
Bataille s source materials. An extensive and incisive introductory
essay by Stuart Kendall situates the work historically,
biographically, and philosophically. Guilty is Bataille s most
demanding, intricate, and multi-layered work, but it is also his
most personal and moving one.
