%X Nietzsche is one of those philosophers and thinkers – or even the philosopher, the thinker – who had the most inspiring influence upon Georges Bataille’s way of thinking as well as his existential choices. Among many Nietzschean concepts that are tenaciously present in Bataille’s work one – namely the Death of God – seems to be particularly persistent. This article aims to analyze some of representations of the dead God, the divine cadaver, in both religious and ideological sense in two of Bataille’s novels written before World War II: Story of the Eye and Blue of Noon.
