Understanding Breton

It''s hard to isolate André Breton from the constellation of which he was the passionate nucleus throughout his life. A man of mad friendship, a poet of mad love, the poet of Surrealism knew only how to conceive of his artistic approach collectively. Frédéric Aribit allows us to discover or rediscover the atypical career of one of the major figures of 20th-century French literature, between attempts at a poetic coup d''état, major manifestos and artistic experimentation.
