Signé ; Robert Randau - Lucifer et son Hôte - 1930

Good edition of this work that fits into the author’s singular literary universe, marked by the exploration of tensions between civilization, power, spirituality, and human destiny -

The title immediately suggests a strong symbolic dimension, where the figure of Lucifer is not only considered from the traditional religious angle, but as the embodiment of revolt, of arrogant intelligence, of the refusal of limits, and of fascination with power -

The work plausibly develops a novelistic or philosophical reflection on human duality, torn between the aspiration to greatness and the risk of moral downfall. Through the character or presence of this “host,” Randau stages a confrontation between the forces of the mind, the temptations of evil, and the ambiguities of conscience -
