Perverse and grotesque comedy alternates with scenes of &#8216;oriental&#8217; magnificence and evocative beauty in the story of the ruthless Caliph Vathek&#8217;s journey to superb damnation among the subterranean treasures of Eblis. Underlying the elegant prose is a strong element of self-indulgent personal fantasy on the part of Beckford, youthful millionaire, dreamer, and eventually social outcast. Byron, Poe, Mallarm\u00e9, and Swinburne are some of the literary figures who have admired Vathek&#8217;s imaginative power.. First published January 1, 1786. Original format: Paperback.
