Blood of the Poor

Exploring the theme of avarice, this work presents a profound and unflinching critique of societal issues. Léon Bloy's writing is emotionally challenging, leaving readers exposed to the harsh realities of the world without any refuge. The text combines the fervor of a sermon reminiscent of Savonarola with the sharp satire akin to Jonathan Swift, creating a dark, poetic prose that confronts the reader directly and unrelentingly.
