Translated into English for the first time, this novelized biography of the 3rd-century Roman Emperor Heliogabalus is simultaneously Artaud's most accessible and his most extreme book. Written in 1933, at the time when Artaud was preparing to stage his legendary Theatre of Cruelty, Heliogabalus is a powerful concoction of sexual excess, self-deification and terminal violen...more

Now this is a curiosity - one part flummery, one part insanity and one part genius. It is an account of sorts of the decadent teenage androgynous Emperor Heliogabalus.
Not that the average reader (in which category I include myself) will have an earthly idea what this is all about (given the limits of a modern education) until you remember that it is best not read but DECLAIMED out loud in a theatrical manner and that it has to be seen as the last flowering (written in the 1930s) of a forty year...more

Antonin Artaud tells the story of Heliogabalus as if he writes an alchemical treatise and in the first section: “The Cradle of Sperm” he depicts the transformation of sperm into a human being as is he is describing a transmutation of lead into gold… For him all metamorphoses are possible – the matter turns into spirit, the form becomes content.

Voice Claudia also describes the history of a potential, and probable, active-trait male in her territory. He declared himself a living god-emperor, and through marriage to Bene Gesserat Livia produced several generations of active-trait males. One appears to have been the first known Abomination, a man who heard “voices” and claimed to be both male and female, but whose actions were so perverse that Voice Claudia refuses to describe them.

'Quanto a Eliogabalo, egli ha il gusto della regalità, l'incoscienza di un demente precoce, l'assenza di scrupoli di un monomane e l'ingenuità senza macchia di un adolescente di quattordici anni. Tutti gli intrighi di Giulia Mesa non avrebbero mai raggiunto nulla se essi non avessero avuto per base la personalità d'Eliogabalo, se questo mostro che la Storia ha vomitato non avesse avuto in sé le dimensioni di un mostro, cosciente delle proprie crudeltà. Un bel mostro che si vuole re. Che ha l'org...more
This is one of I believe two novels that Artaud wrote. It's about the Roman emperor Heliogabalus, whose reign was noted for degeneracy and excess to the point where his generals eventually murdered him for it. Artaud makes the argument that his corruption and excess were so extensive and pure that in themselves they constituted a work of art transposed into the real world.

La vita di Antonin Artaud è così traboccante di esperienze che sembrano esserci innumerevoli approcci su ciò che si può esprimere sul suo ruolo di scrittore nonché attore e regista di un’arte immanente che si rivolge al mondo come un’entità intera, liberata da qualsiasi esteriorità, divinità o altra figura trascendentale, il cui tutto è incluso nei processi di interazione all’interno della materia stessa.

This book alternates between turgid/dense and fast/insane. I read it because I recently read Deleuze's The Logic of Sense and in that book Deleuze consistently talks about Lewis Carroll, the Stoics, and Artaud. I haven't read Artaud since I read The Theater and Its Double which I honestly don't remember very well, even though I remember I loved it. Anyway, I see why Deleuze loves this book; a lot of Deleuze's thought, and a lot of writing style, is encapsulated by Artaud.

While reading this book at a grocery store bench I overheard a 13 year old defend himself to his mom by saying 'Pubic hair is not a swear.'
My favorite quote from the book:
The written numeral is a symbol for what one cant manage to add up or measure.
The written letter is a symbol for what one can't think - the limit of thought, where thinking ends and has to rely on an object, like a lilypad in order to progress (this is how the linguistic-centric people think: language is a necessary lilypad for...more

Per la precisione si tratta della biografia più estrema vomitata su carta. Dalla torbida concezione del futuro imperatore romano alla sua entrata sodomitica nell'urbe, fino ad arrivare alla miserabile morte nella cloaca massima: dallo sperma agli escrementi, tutto è liquidamente imbrattante ed eccessivo, nella prosa di un genio. Un capolavoro. Non scherzo.

Whilst reading this, I considered for the first time the difficulty Artaud's writing must pose for the translator. Not because I read/speak French and am thus certain of the difficulty, but because there is a particular thorniness in the language in nearly every translation I had read, a consistent sort of thorniness that leads me to believe it's a matter of the source and not poor translation. If you go into this book unfamiliar with Artaud's work, you might find some bits difficult. I'm remind...more
Looking around here at peoples disappointing responses one wonders why these people 'read' -the only good thing that can be said is that these people are try to evolve their consciousness (although failing)

This book was very difficult for me, but difficult good. Sometimes hard to sort the gibberish from the gems, but there were some amazing nuggets. Because it's not a straightforward biography, we get a real sense of the psychology and dichotomies within the child god emperor, but not any detailed chronology.

Straripante di concetti, paradossi, documenti, descrizioni, nomi e storie. Un'opera complessa, gravida di elementi, che richiede lo stesso studio da parte del lettore quanto quello di chi l'ha stesa. Difficile dire di più senza scadere nelle citazioni o nel banale.

Livre marquant. Vaguement incompréhensible. Quelque part entre le délire et la recension historique. Beaucoup de voyages possibles à l'intérieur de ces pages; des couleurs et des images très fortes.

Le texte examine l'histoire d'Héliogabale, un empereur romain du III siècle. Artaud reconstitue la vie de l'empereur grâce à les sources littéraire contemporaine, de plus il réfléchit sur la figure symbolique d'Héliogabale même. En fait, Héliogabale a une beauté féminine et il prend part aux rites pédérastes : pour ça il représente l'union du féminin et du masculin dans une vision monothéiste que tout absorbe. Donc, selon cette idée il y a beaucoup d'éléments dans le monde, mais chaque chose fai...more
Nasty young man becomes emperor of Rome; mayhem ensues. Artaud's narration of the events swallows the empire whole and then deposits it into the basin of our understanding.
The layout of this book was just terrible. The publisher failed to do the most perfunctory copyfitting—there are widows and orphans strewn about the text.

I'm going to read this as soon as I get my hands on it though sections of it are in the large, red Artaud anthology. Artaud finds one of his doubles in Heliogabalus, a Roman emperor who makes most other rulers look tame in comparison. The translation is done by the guy who did the recent Maldoror, so it's going to be good too.

'Heliogabalus was born in an era when everybody slept with everybody” and he’s the hero of this era: he leads every extreme to its peek and dies in the war between men and women, because 'it’s not the coitus but death [...] of which all these religions reveal the imposing, evil figure'.
Plot: Elagabalus was born a priest, becomes god-emperor and dies in the sewers.

A pretexto de um anarquista romano desfrutamos de um surrealismo enriquecido pelo detalhe de uma pesquisa obsessiva. No fim fica a dúvida se lemos uma história, um exercício retórico ou poesia transformada insidiosamente numa prosa biográfica. Seja como for, mastiga-se!

Self-indulgent madness. What can anyone expect from Artaud? The book is supposed to be about Heliogabalus, but most of the book is comprised of ravings about the occult.

“...beneath the temple of Emesa there is a system of special sewers wherein the human blood rejoins the plasma of certain animals. Through these sewers, coiling into broiling corkscrews whose circles diminish the further they descend to the depths of the earth, the blood of those sacrificed according to the needful rites will find its way back to the geological seams, the congealed cracks of chaos. This pure blood, thinned and refined by the rituals, and rendered acceptable to the god of the underworld, splashes the groaning deities of Erebus, whose breath finally purifies it.” — 3 likes
