by Daniel Cottom

This book is a study of modern spiritualism, which flourished in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, and of surrealism, in its heyday between the world wars.

by Louis Aragon, Ms. Alyson Waters (Translator)

"This is a thoughtful translation of Aragon's "Traite du Style", which originally appeared in 1928 at the confluence of Aragon's surrealist and Communist beliefs...His diatribe involves wordplay and juxtapositions that are more surrealist than political, as subjective and opinionated as possible, and a great pleasure to read." - Library Journal ...

by Adonis, Judith Cumberbatch (Translator)

Oui: The Paranoid-Critical Revolution: Writings 1927-1933 more books like this

by Salvador Dali, Yvonne Shafir (Translator)

The artist Dali's earliest writing, from the period in which he was most closely allied with the Surrealists, has never before been translated into English.
