Read Locus Solus Storyline:
An intoxicating sui generis novel by "the greatest mesmerist of modern times" (André Breton)The wealthy scientist Martial Canterel guides a group of visitors through his expansive estate, Locus Solus, where he displays his various deranged inventions, each more spectacular than the last. First, he introduces a machine propelled by the weather, which constructs a mosaic out of varying hues of human teeth, then shows a hairless cat charged with a powerful electric battery, and next a bizarre theater in which corpses are reanimated with a special serum to enact the most important movements of their past lives.Wondrously imaginative and narrated with Roussel's deadpan wit, Locus Solus is unlike anything else ever written.Pages of Locus Solus :
