Beautiful cover and illustrations by Josef Šíma! The dust jacket is slightly repaired along the spine and faded in places, but the book itself is in very good condition! Nadja (1935) is the Czech edition of the key surrealist work by the French writer André Breton (Nadja, originally published in 1928), issued in Prague by F. J. Müller in 1935. The 1935 edition is notable for its visual design: the cover and drawings on the dust jacket were created by the prominent Czech painter and graphic artist Josef Šíma, and the interior includes illustrations, including a frontispiece by Pablo Picasso, giving the book a strong artistic dimension beyond the text itself. This translation — from French into Czech — was produced with the collaboration of Vítězslav Nezval, Miloš Hlávka, and Bedřich Vaníček, and presents one of the most important texts of surrealism. In it, the author recounts his encounter with the mysterious woman named Nadja as a psychological and poetic reflection of surrealist principles and the relationship between reality and the irrational. The book is octavo in size (approximately 21 × 15 cm), contains 144 pages of text plus illustrations, and its design and content make it a significant collectible example of Czech and European avant-garde book production of the 20th century.
