      Czech poet and photographer Jindřich Heisler (1914–1953) joined the Czech Surrealist Group in 1938, just as Nazi occupation of the country was driving the movement and Czech artists underground. Heisler published his first book of poetry a year later. In his brief and courageous career—Heisler died suddenly at the age of thirty-eight—he produced some of the most remarkable assemblage work of the Surrealist movement, including what is arguably the single-most important photobook produced in the 20th century, From the Strongholds of Sleep (1940-41).This gorgeously illustrated volume—with eighty color images of Heisler's assemblage pieces—introduces English-speaking audiences to his work, translating many of his writings for the first time and offering in-depth analysis of his postwar years in Paris in the company of André Breton, Benjamin Péret, the illustrator Toyen, and other major figures of the Surrealist movement.

    • Part of Sade's The Crimes of Love cycle, this shocking tale - which was among the writings banned for publication until the twentieth century - tests the limits of morality and portrays the disastrous consequences of freedom and pleasure.

    • The name of the Marquis de Sade is synonymous with the blackest corners of the human soul, a byword for all that is most foul in human conduct. In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no human affection, and no hope. This selection of his early writings, some making their first appearance in English in this new translation by David Coward, reveals the full range of Sade's sobering moods and considerable talents. This is a fully annotated edition including an introduction, a biographical study, and a history of the censorship of these writings.

      Onder aanvoering van vier 'schurken', een hertog, een bisschop, een bankier en een rechter, zondert een groep mensen zich af in een kasteel om zich over te geven aan alle mogelijke vormen van seksualiteit, tot de extreemste aan toe. Voor de uitspattingen worden acht jongens en meisjes in de leeftijd van twaalf tot vijftien geselecteerd, acht mannen met grote penissen ('de neukers'), dienaressen en vertelsters. Dit gezelschap gaat er stevig tegenaan. Zaad vliegt in het rond, er wordt stront gegeten, gezogen, gelikt, gepist, geneukt en afgetrokken. De vier schurken laten zich door de vertelsters (vier dames) verhalen vertellen. Iedere maand vertelt een dame over 'de passie van de maand' en brengt daarmee de hoofden van de schurken op hol, wat weer gepaard gaat met allerlei seksuele afwijkingen.
