These literary profiles of eight authors and their work, including Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal and the writings of Sade, Kafka and Sartre, explore subjects such as violence, eroticism, childhood, myth and transgression, in a work of rich allusion and powerful argument.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
