Description:

Apollinaire's first book: a collection of outrageous short stories about heretics, renegade mystics and criminal religious fanatics,

The Heresiarch & Co. was Apollinaire's first book, and reportedly remained his favorite.

The author, amid so many fantastic, tragic and sometimes sublime inventions, intoxicates himself with a charming erudition with which he also intoxicates his readers.
