Ugliness is usually opposed to beauty, but these notions are actually complementary. The reader will make an exciting tour through a man’s nightmares, horrors and pathologic passions during the last three centuries of human existence. Here an abrupt rejection is combined with painful fits of compassion, aversion for ugly forms alternates with decadent delight of alluring breaches of all canons. In this book a vast and unexpected iconographic stratum appears behind demons, ugly monsters, terrible abysses and anomalies staggering the imagination.
