«Le mort» is an erotic short story by Georges Bataille, published by Pauvert in paperback in 1985 (40 pages, in French).
The story approaches death and existence from an erotic and transgressive perspective, in a surrealist atmosphere that avoids any conventional treatment of grief. Bataille pushes the narrative to the limit of experience, intertwining desire with the forbidden.
The work originally appeared in 1964; this 1985 Pauvert edition belongs to the Fonds Pauvert collection.
For readers interested in twentieth-century French literature, eroticism and surrealism, as well as Bataille's short prose.
