Originally published in 1932 in France, Les Vases communicants is an effort to show how the discoveries and techniques of surrealism could lead to recovery from despondency. This English translation makes available "the theories upon which the whole edifice of surrealism, as Breton conceived it, is based."<br><br><br><br>In Communicating Vessels Breton lays out the problems of everyday experience and of intellect. His involvement with political thought and action led him to write about the relations between nations and individuals in a mode that moves from the quotidian to the lyrical. His dreams triggered a curious correspondence with Freud, available only in this book. As Caws writes, "The whole history of surrealism is here, in these pages."<br><br></div> 327349 1990 Communicating Vessels (French Modernist Library) total:38|5:11|4:15|3:7|2:3|1:2| 38 144 59 2 336901 0803261357 9780803261358 33 2 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173852415m/336901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/336901.Communicating_Vessels 4 0 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Thu Jan 17 14:05:13 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 14:09:17 -0800 2008 more...]]> 336901 0803261357 9780803261358 33 2 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173852415m/336901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/336901.Communicating_Vessels 3 0 false Sun Jul 27 14:02:06 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 14:03:16 -0700 2008
