Originally this book led as a title the hate to poetry that, to say of its author, only emphasizes the hate to poetry pretendedly linked to the taste of the possible, but did not express it clearly. Thinking about the aversion that the beautiful poetry was inspired then, he highlighted the insulsion of lyricism. This because for him, the poetry does not delira, the delirium has the advantage of being involuntary on poetry. He believed that the only means to reach the true poetry was hatred, that poetry lacked strength except in the violence of the revolt. But poetry does not reach that violence but evoking the impossible. Because almost nobody understood the meaning of that title, he preferred to talk about the impossible, although, in the same way, this title is not clear either, because it can be defined as much as possible but not the impossible, but the author kept the hope that one day It will be understood.

The impossible presents texts with the intention of painting the truth as the fictitious stories of novels, are stories that clearly reach the impossible, a seizure that unleashes the global movement of beings, seizure that goes from disappearance From death to that voluptuous fury that can be the sense of disappearance. The writing of it shows a tendency to excess, the violent provocation that rejects the ease of cestritis.

The author - which is often presented as a damn and uncompassing written due to his disconcerting, scandalous, contradictory and plural approaches - through a philosophical analysis, warns us that for the human being there is a double perspective: on the one hand the violent pleasure , the horror and death - exactly the pleasure of poetry - and by the other that of science or the real world of utility. Bataille that exerted a great influence on the writers of his time, considers that only the useful and the real one has a serious character, we are never granted the right, however, we can and we must respond to something that is stronger than all rights , referring to that impossible to which you get forgotten the truth of all these rights, accepting its disappearance.
