The Fiery Angel (novel): '''''The Fiery Angel''''' (, ''Ognenny Angel'') is a novel by Russian writer Valery Bryusov. It was first serialized in the Russian literary monthly ''Vesy'' in 1907–08, and then published in a book form (in two volumes) in 1908. Set in sixteenth-century Germany, it depicts a love triangle between Renata, a passionate young woman, Ruprecht, a knight and Madiel, the fiery Angel. The novel tells the story of Ruprecht's attempts to win the love of Renata whose spiritual integrity is seriously undermined by her participation in occult practices. This love triangle is now recognised to be that which existed between the author, Bryusov, the symbolist novelist Andrei Bely and their shared lover, the nineteen-year-old Nina Petrovskaya. The novel is a meticulous account of sixteenth-century Germany, notably Cologne and the world of the occult. Characters such as Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and Faust appear alongside a description of a Black Mass.

Les Chants de Maldoror: '''''Les Chants de Maldoror''''' (''The Songs of Maldoror'') is a French poetic novel, or a long prose poem. It was written and published between 1868 and 1869 by the Comte de Lautréamont, the ''nom de plume'' of the Uruguayan-born French writer Isidore Lucien Ducasse. The work concerns the misanthropic, misotheistic character of '''Maldoror''', a figure of evil who has renounced conventional morality.


Although obscure at the time of its initial publication, ''Maldoror'' was rediscovered and championed by the Surrealist artists during the early twentieth century. The work's transgressive, violent, and absurd themes are shared in common with much of Surrealism's output; in particular, Louis Aragon, André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Man Ray, and Philippe Soupault were influenced by the work. ''Maldoror'' was itself influenced by earlier gothic literature of the period, including Lord Byron's ''Manfred'', and Charles Maturin's ''Melmoth the Wanderer''.
