Abstract

The relation between Hemingway and Bataille has never been elucidated, and yet detailed biographical examination and, especially, textual and thematic analysis show that not only was Bataille, the theoretician, intensely interested in Hemingway 's work, but he was actually much influenced by The Sun Also Rises while writing his first major work Histoire de l'œil (1927). Moreover, this paper purports to bring together Batailles conceptualization of the experience and paradox of the limits, and Hemingway 's fiction where the energies of desire and death are constantly at work.
