  • The Resurrection of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    The Resurrection of Villiers de lʼIsle-Adam, by Léon Bloy, originally published in 1906, 15 years after Villiersʼ passing, is as much an homage to Villiers de lʼIsle-Adam - his literary corpus and genius - as it is a plea to Thomas Edison to help subscribe monetarily to the statue, sculpted in marble, by Frédéric Brou. 'And now, itʼs to you that I address myself, Thomas Alva Ed...

  • Blood of the Poor
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    Blood of the Poor (originally Le Sang du pauvre), by Catholic writer Léon Bloy, is perhaps the hardest to read of Léon Bloyʼs writings, as it goes straight to the heart of the matter of what is wrong in the world. It is hard to read, emotively, because it gives the honest reader no room for cover, no space for shelter, no shadow of a tree to hide under. With avarice as its subj...

  • Great Men Are Slain Here
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson

Hello, after her husbandʼs passing.Léon Bloy was not a fan of Mme. Hello (nor she of him), and he was even le...

    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    On the Threshold of the Apocalypse: 1913-1915 is the seventh volume from Léon Bloyʼs personal journal begun in 1892.

  • The Soul of Napoleon
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    The Soul of Napoleon (Lʼâme de Napoléon, originally), by Léon Bloy, is a poem in prose on the great generalʼs achievements and greatness, but it is more than that, it is a re-assessment of his significance from a Catholic and a Catholic eschatological point of view, as perhaps no other writer than Léon Bloy could have put down on paper. Written in 1912, it is also, like many of...

  • Je M’Accuse...
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    Je M’Accuse... (I Accuse Myself...), written by Léon Bloy and published in 1900, is a blistering, unforgiving, and often hilarious attack on Ėmile Zola, the founder of the Naturalist movement of French literature, famous internationally for his participation in the Dreyfus Affair through an open letter, 'J’Accuse...!', which he addressed to Félix Faure, then President of the Fr...

  • Salvation Through the Jews
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    'In these unprecedented times' (ugh) we need a prophet. But prophets are hard to come by in the flesh and blood, unless we unearth one from the modern or post-modern past, from our own graveyards preferably. If fusty, fetid, fecal, and fiery Léon Bloy cannot fit the bill, we donʼt know who can. Salvation Through the Jews picks up where certain apocalyptic, poetic, eschatologica...

  • She Who Weeps
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    She Who Weeps (Our Lady of La Salette) by Léon Bloy (Celle qui pleure, in French) was originally published in 1908.

Originally begun in ...

  • The Desperate Man
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    The Desperate Man (first published in 1887) is arguably the French decadent novel par excellence of the 19th century. It is also Léon Bloyʼs first novel and a seminal work which, as such, planted the seeds of just about every other important theme or topic that the author would later develop in subsequent works throughout his life and career. Life is rain water for talented wri...

  • Meditations of a Solitary in 1916
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    Meditations of a Solitary in 1916 was written by Léon Bloy in 1916 in France, during World War I, and published in 1917, the same year that the author passed away. The themes are mostly theological, with sustained meditations on both the Christian soul and the lack of soul of Wilhelm II, emperor of Germany. Indeed, although biographical in nature, one might consider this less a...
