Knygos aprašymas

Decadent literature is intrinsically and proudly, a literature of moral challenge; it is skeptical, cynical and satirical. It recognizes that everyday morality does not work either in practical or in psychological terms, and is therefore a sham, but that ideal morality is - not necessarily unfortunately - unattainable. The moral of a decadent prose-poem or cont cruel, if it has a moral at all, is likely to recommend that we should make the best compromises we can, recognise that they are compromises and refuse to be ashamed of them. Decadent art is, however, dedicated to the smashing of all icons and idols, and it is always ready to attack stern moralists of every stripe; it is fiercely intolerant of intolerance and revels in the paradoxical of such a stance. CONTENTS: Introduction Salomé O For a Fiery Gloom and Thee The Last Worshipper of Proteus The Evil That Men Do Ebony Eyes The Fisherman's Child The Storyteller's Tale The Unluckiest Thief The Light of Achernar The Mandrake Garden Chanterelle
