This book shocked and appalled contemporaries with the concentration of evil that its pages exuded. Publishers did not publish it for fear of persecution by church and state. An unknown French poet, hiding under a pseudonym, challenged morality and sanctimony, singing, perhaps, all the vices known to mankind. Without "Songs" and "Poems" would be unthinkable aesthetics of symbolism and surrealism. Lautréamont breathed a new spirit into French and world poetry - of stench and decay, of intoxication with sin and endless despair.
