Max Ernst – författare

The great surrealist's collage masterpiece was printed in 1934 in a limited edition of five now-priceless pamphlets. This single-volume edition contains all of the original publication's 182 bizarre, darkly humorous scenes of violent dreams and erotic fantasies. "One of the clandestine classics of our century."— The New York Times.

The second of the great Surrealist's collage novels, this hallucinatory vision centers on the nightmares of a girl who loses her virginity on the day of her first communion and resolves to become a nun. Max Ernst's profoundly bizarre work, first published in Paris in 1930, blends humor and irony in its unforgettable expression of religious ecstasy and carnal desire.

Originally published in Paris in 1929, this collage novel by avant-gardist Max Ernst constitutes a seminal and quintessential 20th-century work of art. Engravings from Victorian-era books and magazines, accompanied by enigmatic captions, offer a universe of mystery replete with all the possibilities of the bizarre dream world of the surreal. Images speak, language illustrates, and the reader's imagination provides the glue.
