AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original edition on Châtaignier paper. This volume contains:
- Failles, poems from 1924 to 1934.
- La Néréide of the Red Sea 1934-1935.
- Cover printed in two colors.
- Collection Métamorphoses, XVI, Gallimard, 1943.
- Defect and loss at the top of the spine (see photo).
- Signs of handling.
- No delivery to the United States due to new legislation.

Michel Leiris frequented artistic circles after 1918, notably the surrealists.
He befriended Max Jacob, André Masson and Picasso.
Although published late, this book materializes the deep and complex imprint of Surrealism on the author's writing, who was an active member of André Breton's movement between 1924 and 1929.
