Del asesinato considerado como una de las bellas artes

Synopsis of Del asesinato considerado como una de las bellas artes

In 'On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts', Thomas de Quincey explores the author's intimate obsessions through two articles originally published in 1827 and 1829, along with a Post Scriptum from 1854. The book, a classic piece of English humor, presents a lecture to the Society of Connoisseurs of Murder and the minutes of a commemorative dinner, reconciling erudition and brutality. The Post Scriptum, while maintaining a similar tone, reflects on horror and describes the crimes of Williams and the M'Kean.
