Description from the seller

Ivory cotton paper from the Amatruda paper mill in Amalfi, 200 g; cover in Murillo cardboard, 260 g.
Printed on October 16, 1986.
The cover is kept free of stains and wear by a sheet of tissue paper, finely folded to protect the book. The volume is housed in a rigid case and includes a small volume of translations of the poems.

Published clandestinely in 1929 for the first time, the book presents itself as an 'obscene' calendar illustrated by four photographs by Man Ray featuring as its model Kiki de Montparnasse (with whom he had a relationship). Erotic poems by Péret complete the work, proving that surrealist l'amour fou (the mad love) has taken on the crudest forms.
