Manifestoes of Surrealism is an essential text by André Breton, a French writer and poet, and co-founder of the Surrealist movement. This volume includes Breton’s 1924 surrealist manifesto, his second manifesto from 1930, and extracts from other letters and works. Drawing on Freudian psychoanalysis, dream logic, and automatic writing, Breton rejects rationalism and embraces the unconscious as a path to artistic and social liberation.

As rich, lively, and stimulatingly sensitive a book as the truly catholic lover of the arts could desire.- Publishers Weekly;""A magnificent translation of Breton's collected pronunciamientos, 1924-53.""- New Yorker;""The translations of the seminal precepts of the founder of the surrealist movement has long been overdue. In view of the intricacies of thought and language characteristics of Andre Breton's prose, Richard Seaver and Helen R. Lane's renderings are remarkably good.""- Anna Balakian, Sunday Review
