{"product_id":"surrealism-the-road-to-the-absolute","title":"Surrealism: The Road to the Absolute","description":"First published in 1959, Surrealism remains the most readable introduction to the French surrealist poets Apollinaire, Breton, Aragon, Eluard, and Reverdy. Providing a much-needed overview of the movement, Balakian places the surrealists in the context of early twentieth-century Paris and describes their reactions to symbolist poetry, World War I, and developments in science and industry, psychology, philosophy, and painting. Her coherent history of the movement is enhanced by her firsthand knowledge of the intellectual climate in which some of these poets worked and her interviews with Reverdy and Breton. In a new introduction, Balakian discusses the influence of surrealism on contemporary poetry.\n\nThis volume includes photographs of the poets and reproductions of paintings by Ernst, Dali, Tanguy, and others.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0226035603\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0226035603.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Balakian, Anna\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
