Guilty. Introduction by Denis Hollier.

In a profound exploration of spiritual and communal turmoil, Georges Bataille dives into the depths of human experience, grappling with the implications of a godless existence. This work challenges readers to confront the stark realities of life and death, using vivid imagery and introspective narrative to peel back the layers of societal norms and personal beliefs. The death of god acts as a catalyst, awakening a sense of loss that permeates every aspect of existence.

As the author navigates this tumultuous landscape of guilt and revelation, he invites readers to reflect on their own crises and the collective struggles of humanity. With Denis Hollier's introduction providing context, this intimate account resonates deeply, prompting a reevaluation of self and society in an age defined by absence and existential questioning. The journey through guilt is raw and unflinching, striking at the very core of what it means to exist without divine assurance.
