Torture Garden. Le Jardin Des Supplices.
New York:: Citadel Press 1948. First Citadel edition. Rare. Publishers black cloth title to spine some rubbing at edges and minor wear to boards spine is cocked few pages with tiny chip at outer edge. Illustrated dust jacket with wear at edges corners and spine with repairs to verso inside still looks nice in protective mylar. In protective mylar. At time of description we locate no other first Citadel editions only the second printing of 1949. . Hardcover. First published in 1899 Torture Garden is considered to be one of the most extreme books ever printed especially in its time. The book is split into a narrative of two parts the first is the unamed corrupt Frenchman written as a narrator which leaves the reader to go about as the character who lives off the wealth of his politician friend - here we find Mirbeau in constant bashing of the government and bureaucracy. The second part leads the character to meet the fascinating Englishwoman Clara who quickly enslaves him into an affair. She lures him to her exotic home of China and her Torture Garden where torture is practiced as an art form in love death sex and depravity. People are skinned alive blood flows from all orifices of prison inmates cruel sex acts of pain and pleasure death and debauchery while the exotic garden is fed human compost. An underground classic long out of print - a deeply unsettling work of early horrific genius the Godfather book to what would become known as “Splatter Punk†literature a century later to the likes of Clive Barker Jack Ketchum Edward Lee and others.

Mirbeau Octave
TORTURE GARDEN. Translated from the French . by Alvah C. Bessie. With a Foreword by James Huneker .
New York: Claude Kendall 1931. Octavo pp. 1-20 1-284 nine illustrations in text by Jeanette Seelhoff original marbled boards with black cloth shelf back spine panel stamped in gold pictorial endpapers. First edition in English. Translation of LE JARDIN DES SUPPLICES 1898 a novel published at the height of the Dreyfus affair on the eve of the trial of Alfred Dreyfus in Rennes the result of tinkering with texts designed independently of each other at different times in different styles and with different characters. Mirbeau a French anarchist wrote the central part of novel as a grotesque caricature of the French political circles of the Third Republic. "A deliriously decadent novel of Oriental exoticism considering torture as one of the fine arts. Not merely Sadistic but Sadean termed by Huneker 'the most damnably cruel book in contemporary fiction.' A definite precursor to the graphic horror fiction of our time; a fin de siecle Clive Barker." - Robert Knowlton. A very unfaithful and very melodramatic theatrical adaptation of the novel was produced by Pierre Chaine and Andre de Lorde and represented Theatre Grand Guignol on 28 October 1922 and two films both unfaithful were based on the novel. Bleiler 1948 p. 201. Mild rubbing to edges of boards hint of fading at upper spine end a nearly fine copy in very good pictorial dust jacket with wear at edges and 10 mm chip from upper spine end. #148782 Claude Kendall unknown
