Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201512272 Klossowski's combinatin of theological, metaphysical,eroticism and irony is well worked in this page turner of Templar myth. Klossowski's fanciful concept of the "breaths" of Templars long past gathering on the anniversary of the torment and execution of their Grand Master and revisiting the very iniquities and blasphemies that they were force to admit to by a corrupt church and government. The mystical journey Klossowski takes his readers on is pure thrill. You will meet the Grand Master as a hornet, Nietzsche in the body of an anteater, the author himself as the confessor and a cast worthy of a Fellini movie. Foucault said that: "The theory of the 'breaths' in Klossowski's Baphomet is related, for who knows how many aspects, to the entirety of Western philosophy".

Encounters

Juan García Ponce

Fiction. Translated from the Italian by Joachim Neugroschel. "Set during WW II, this is the first novel to appear in English by the celebrated Italian author of Words in Commotion and Other Stories. The narrator, an outlaw, takes refuge in an odd mountain manor occupied by an elderly nobleman and his two ferocious wolfhounds. The renegade's curiosity is awakened when he sees a turn-of-the-century painting of an alluring woman, and hears 'faint breathing' in his room at night and suspiciously light footsteps on a staircase. Ignoring the wishes of his host, he explores what he perceives to be a ghostly presence in the mansion. This riveting tale packs multiple surprises, with piercingly nightmarish imagery and intense, lonely characters tormented by private passions and obsessions. Landolfi (1908-79) masterfully evokes mood by engaging the senses: 'By now, it was the dead of night; a stiff, wet wind had risen, increasing the havoc that the dampness had wrought on me.... All around me, I heard the huge trees twisting and soughing furiously'"--Publishers Weekly.
