Le Miroir Du Merveilleux by Mabille, Pierre; Breton, Andre (Preface) - 1962

Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions, 1998. xv, 303 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. First edition thus. "The Mirror of the Marvelous has long been considered one of the most significant and original books to have come out of the surrealist movement. Anais Nin suggested it as a source of inspiration, far ahead of its time, for would-be authors seeking to break from the realist literary mold. Mabille cites a far reaching assortment of texts, ranging from the classic to the obscure, from the ancient epic to the modern poem, from the creation myth to more contemporary visions of apocalypse. This work defines the flame of the marvelous by showing its presence in those works where it burns the brightest." - Publisher.. 1st. Paperback. Fine. Illus. by Masson, Andre. 8vo.
