L'autore:

André Breton (1896-1966) was a French writer, poet, and surrealist theorist, and is best known as the principal founder of Surrealism. His writings include the Surrealist Manifesto (Manifeste du surréalisme) of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism." His poetry and writings all remain in print to this day. In addition, a vast and continually growing assemblage of writings on, biographies, and museum exhibits continue to keep Breton alive and in public view though out the world.
