B&R Samizdat Express edition, including Instructtions from Writing History as well as The True History, with links from the table of contents. According to Wikipedia: "True History or True Story is a travel tale by the Greek-speaking Syrian author Lucian of Samosata, the earliest known fiction about travelling to outer space, alien life-forms and interplanetary warfare. Written in the 2nd century, the novel has been referred to as "the first known text that could be called science fiction". The work was intended by Lucian as a satire against contemporary and ancient sources, which quote fantastic and mythical events as truth... Lucian of Samosata (Greek: Λουκιανός ὁ Σαμοσατεύς, Latin: Lucianus Samosatensis; c. A.D. 125 – after A.D. 180) was a rhetorician, and satirist who wrote in the Greek language. He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature. "

This joint centennial edition of Salome and Under the Hill , united by seventeen of Beardsley's unsurpassable drawings, is a timely rehabilitation of these two all-too-often ignored fin-de-siecle texts, and constitues a volume of unadulterated Decadent Erotica which must surely stand as the apogee of its kind. Censored, banned, and ridiculed upon publication, Oscar Wilde's Salome , written in 1892 in the French language, must now be viewed as one of the greatest of all Decadent texts; an aesthetic masterwork which has seldom been accorded due respect. Salome is an evocation of biblical horror in which blasphemies abound. More than this, its atmosphere seethes with a dangerous erotic charge from the very outset. Relentless, hypnotic repetitions in the words, arranged in fugue candences, the tale unfolds with the inexorable acceleration of an orgasmic nightmare. Aubrey Beardsley's Under the Hill , a short work commenced in 1894, but left unfinished at the time of Beardsley's premature demise, nonetheless achieves the quintessence of Decadence, an evocation of a synaesthetic pleasure dome. A unique and indispensable text for any who seek the uttermost extremes of the manifest imagination.

"Alors, tu crois qu'il n'y a que Dieu qui voit les âmes, Basil ? Écarte le rideau et tu verras la mienne." Dorian Gray prononce ces mots avec une dureté cruelle. Hallward, le peintre, s'inquiète de la folie de Dorian. Ce dernier, dans un acte impulsif, arrache le rideau du tableau et révèle son propre portrait. L'horreur s'empare de Hallward en découvrant le visage hideux de Dorian sur la toile, bien que sa beauté stupéfiante ne soit pas encore entièrement altérée. Les reflets dorés de sa chevelure et la sensualité de sa bouche persistent, tandis que ses yeux, bien que bouffis, conservent une lueur de leur ancien éclat. Le tableau, signé par Hallward, soulève des questions troublantes sur l'identité et la beauté. Dorian est confronté à une idée monstrueuse, mêlant fascination et peur, alors qu'il réalise que son image est en train de se dégrader, tandis que lui-même reste inchangé.

In den 236 Zeichnungen dieses Bandes offenbart sich die geniale graphische Begabung des Engländers Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872-1898). Bereits als Zwanzigjähriger entwickelte er einen Sinn für die unter der prüden Oberfläche schlummenrnde Stimmung seiner Zeit und gab diese in vielen eleganten und auch gewagten Zeichnungen wieder, die die viktorianische Gesellschaft schockten und Berdsley zum berüchtigsten Maler seiner Zeit machten. Die Zeichnungen des jungen Mannes kamen in Mode. Dies war durchaus Beardsleys Ziel, da er aufgrund einer schweren Krankheit wusste, dass ihm keine Zeit blieb, auf großen Ruhm zu warten. Beardsley illustrierte u. a. "Morte d'Arthur„ und Oscar Wildes Skansalstück “Salome„, außerdem war er als Kunstredakteur der Zeitschrift “The Yellow Press" tätig. Seine sensationellen Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, Titelseiten und Cover machten ihn endgültig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Beardsley starb am 16. März 1898 im Alter von nur 25 Jahren an Tuberkolose. Seine Werke jedoch beeinflussten viele ihm nachfolgende Künstler der Art Nouveau wie Pape, Mucha und Clarke.

Nella vasta e varia produzione dell'autore irlandese più amato - e insieme più odiato - nell'Inghilterra vittoriana, questa vivacissima raccolta di aforismi pubblicata nel 1901, ossia un anno dopo la morte, rappresenta la quintessenza del suo stile di vita, di pensiero e di scrittura. In frasi spesso fulminanti ed efficacissime, infatti, egli sa esprimere le riflessioni e gli affetti più profondi, originali e sentiti. In verità, sotto numerose battute scintillanti e paradossali, solo in apparenza ciniche, grottesche e superficiali, s'intravede una personalità irrequieta, ipercritica e oltremodo insofferente, che in poche righe riesce genialmente a comunicare una visione severa ed amara dell'esistenza, della morale e della società.
