Description: Georges Bataille, after training as an archivist at the school of paleography known as the École des Chartes (School of Charters) in Paris, worked as a librarian and medieval specialist at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris until 1942. In 1951 he became keeper of the Orléans library. He also edited scholarly journals and in 1946 founded an influential literary review, Critique, which he edited until his death. His first novel, on sexual excess, was published under a pseudonym, Lord Auch; it appeared in 1928 as Histoire de l’oeil (The Story of the Eye). Blue of Noon (French: Le Bleu du Ciel) is an erotic novella. Although Bataille completed the work in 1935, it was not published until Jean-Jacques Pauvert did so in 1957. Urizen Books published Harry Mathews' English-language translation in 1978.
