Atlas Arkhive Three - Documents of the Avant Garde The ideas of Georges Bataille (1897-1962) are increasingly being recognised as offering vital insights into whole areas of human existence. The texts presented here, written by Bataille and friends, are written in the form of a dictionary and, being written for a general audience, are more accessible than much of his other work. Witty, poetic, sardonic, sometimes erotic, they provide a concise introduction to his ideas.
