Artaud's novelised biography of the third-century Roman Emperor Heliogabalus is simultaneously his 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 violence - the divine upstart Heliogabalus ends his reign hacked to pieces by his own guards in the latrines of his imperial palace.… (plus d'informations)
This book was pretty kooky, but I expected no less from the author! I liked his premise that Heliogabalus was an anarchist who was (maybe?) trying to exploit his limitless power as emperor to subvert and undermine traditional Roman religion and society. Was his endgame mere anarchy, or a complete destruction of the Empire and a consequent expansion of his own religion? How mature was the vision of someone whom we would call a teenager?
I read The Mad Emperor: Heliogabalus and the Decadence of Rome by Harry Sidebottom before reading this book, and I appreciated how the two works complemented each other. ( )
“Heliogábalo o el Anarquista coronado” apareció en las “Editions Denöel et Steele” el 28 de abril de 1934 llevando como ilustraciones seis viñetas de André Derain. Aun siendo “Heliogábalo” sobre todo la obra de un poeta, es también una obra de erudición. Antonin Artaud realizó largas y pacientes indagaciones y leyó gran número de escritos tanto antiguos como modernos. Mezclados con una parte del manuscrito de “Heliogábalo” que Mme. Anie Faure facilitó a los representantes de “Editions Gallimard” (editores de las obras completas de Artaud) había una lista de las fuentes consultadas que abarca entre los antiguos a Artemidoro de Efeso (Interpretación de los sueños), Heliodoro, Censorinus, Eusebio, Amiano Marcelino, Eutropo, Macrobio, Zosimo, Constantino Porfirogenta, Xifilino, etc. Las fuentes modernas son, entre otras consultadas: Auguste Bouché-Leclerc (Histoire de la divination dans l´Antiquité), Pierre-Jean Baptiste Chaussard, dit Publicola (Héliogabale, ou Esquisse morale de la dissolution romaine sous les empereurs), Georges Contenau (La Civilisation phénicienne), Franz Cumont (Les Cultes d´Asie Mineure dans le Paganisme romain), Georges Duviquet (Héliogabale raconté par les historiens grecs et latins), René Dussaud (Notes de mythologie syrienne, y otros), Butler Horma Ficht (Studies in the life of Elagabalus), Charles Fossey (La Magie assyrienne), Sébastien Lénain de Tillemont (Histoire des empereurs), Jean Réville (La Religión a Rome sous les Sévères).Y las historias clásicas de Victor Duruy, Edward Gibbon y Théodor Mommsen.
Un des ouvrages les plus violents de l'histoire de la littérature, à la fois dans l'écriture et le récit lui-même. Un souffle puissant dans la narration. Magnifique. ( )
Artaud blends magic, theatre and theory in a way that most of us can only dream of doing. He provides artful insight into the ways of magic and performance, urging everyone to expand their mental limitations and reach for the divine. ( )

I dedicate this book to the manes of Apollonius of Tyana, Christ's contemporary, and to any remaining truthful Illuminati in this fleeting world; And in order to underline its profound unreality, its spirituality, its futility, I dedicate it to anarchy and to the war for this world; I dedicate it finally to the Ancestors, to the Heroes in the classical sense and to the spirits of the Great Dead.

If there was around the corpse of Heliogabalus, tombless, its throat cut by his police force in his palace latrines, a heavy flow of blood and excrement, there was around his cradle a heavy flow of sperm.

He died a coward, yet in a state of open rebellion; and such a life, crowned by such a death, needs, I think, no conclusion.
