Notes

General Note
"The texts published here comprise lectures given to the College of Sociology by Bataille, Caillois and Michel Leiris, essays from the Acéphale journal and a large cache of the internal papers from the secret society. A desperate narrative unfolds, and Bataille risked all in this wholly unreasonable quest. With a few fellow travellers, he undertook what he later described as a "journey out of this world."" -- page 4 of cover.
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 474-478).

Translated from the French.
