Book Description
This book collects together the two most vital "automatic" texts of Surrealism. Breton's prefatory essay The Automatic Message relates this technique to the underlying concepts and aesthetic of the Surrealist movement.
The Magnetic Fields (1919) was the first work of literary Surrealism and is thus one of the foundations of modern European thought and writing. This authorised translation is by the poet David Gascoyne, himself a member of the group and a friend of both authors.
The Immaculate Conception (1930) traces the interior and exterior life of man from Conception and Intra-Uterine Life to Death and The Original Judgement. The central section is a celebrated series of "simulations" of various types of mental instability.
Maurice Nadeau (in The History of Surrealism) described the book as "An astonishing series of poems in prose, more brilliant than those of either Breton or Eluard on his own . . . if all that remained of the Surrealist movement were the pages of The Immaculate Conception, man, alerted, could not turn away from the astounding mystery of his condition."

Illiterature.......2005-09-14
A bit unreadable at times, but worth the effort. Leave expectations at the door. The Immaculate Conception is my pick of the bunch, written, it says in the intro, as a riposte to the "craven and intellectually depraved way that an individual comes to terms with, or rather, submits to the world" as represented by organised religion, in particular Catholic dogma. The Surrealists were freedom loving and the concept of automatic writing was a bold venture. Andre Breton's inspiration, he states, came one night when just on the point of falling asleep a precise sentence came into his head for no reason. The Magnetic Fields, composed in 1919, was supposedly the first official work of Surrealism. Breton's essay, "The Automatic Message" is accompanied by various intriguing works of "automatic drawing". Although the Surrealist movement dwindled away in the 1930s, partly as a result of the bleak economic situation at the time and also, it seems, from artistic jealousies, there is still a fine body of work in print for anyone interested, see Atlas Press's website. Also recommended: the automatic writing & drawing epic Oahspe.
Inside Out.......2000-06-20
In terms of finding a wild, uninhibited introduction to the radical and mindspinning worlds of Breton and friends I can assure you that this is a challenging but rewarding read. However, take note that those who feel prose must have structure and communicate linear thought, please leave your textbook at the door. This is work that burrows deep into the subconcious and festers like a tick.

Product Description
Capital of Pain, first published in 1926, has had a lasting impression on more readers than one might expect. Young Frenchmen between the wars carried it in their backpacks; other poets were dazzled, young and old, all discussed and often argued about this remarkable book. Indeed, it has never gone out of print in France. Today this collection is thought by many to be the key to grasping what Surrealist texts are like. It clearly shows the freshness of early Surrealism, as well as the despair of postwar trauma. Paul Eluard (1895-1952) was a founder, along with Andre Breton and Louis Aragon, of the Surrealist group and was, through the years, the most celebrated poet among that extraordinary grouping of poets. This volume, the first new translation of this work in over thirty years, presents the text of Capital of Pain in its entirety in a bilingual format. Translator Mary Ann Caws also provides an insightful and in depth survey of Eluard's poems and writings.
