Originally published in 1943, Inner Experience is the single most significant work by one of the twentieth century's most influential writers.
It outlines a mystical theology and experience of the sacred founded on the absence of god.
Bataille calls Inner Experience a narrative of despair, but also describes it as a book wherein profundity and passion go tenderly hand in hand.
Herein, he says, The mind moves in a strange world where anguish and ecstasy take shape.
