Author of numerous books, essays, and manifestoes, Breton periodically collected his most significant short essays into carefully arranged volumes. His last such collection, Cavalier Perspective, appeared posthumously in 1970; in it, editor Marguerite Bonnet assembled "articles, prefaces, responses to surveys, interviews," written between 1952 and 1966. Modeled on its predecessors, Cavalier Perspective is considered Breton''s final book.Over 50 years after its initial publication, its appearance in English today is a crucial cultural event; here we encounter Breton writing on topics nearest to our present day and most relevant to current social and political issues.

ANDRÉ BRETON (1896-1966), básník a esejista, je znám zejména jako zakladatel, teoretik a ústřední osobnost surrealistického hnutí, které přineslo nové paradigma estetiky. Začátky jeho tvorby jsou ovlivněny francouzským symbolismem; roku 1919 se připojil k dadaistickému hnutí, s nímž se však po názorových střetech s Tzarou roku 1922 definitivně rozešel. V roce 1924 se svými přáteli Louisem Aragonem, Paulem Éluardem a Benjaminem Péretem oficiálně ustavuje surrealistickou skupinu a publikuje Manifest surrealismu (Manifeste du surréalisme), dílo, vymezující umělecký surrealismus jako čirý psychický automatismus, jenž má zachytit pohyb myšlení bez ovlivnění racionální logikou, morálkou či estetikou (zde je patrné Bretonovo ovlivnění Freudem). Kolem roku 1925 se Breton začíná ideově sbližovat s komunismem a v roce 1927 vstupuje (stejně jako např. Aragon či Éluard) do komunistické strany, z níž byl pro své antistalinistické postoje v roce 1933 vyloučen. V tomto období se postoje surrealistů diferencují; spory v rámci skupiny vedly Bretona k napsání Druhého manifestu surrealismu (Second manifeste du surréalisme, 1930), v němž k teorii umění přibývá politický rozměr. Za druhé světové války prchá Breton do Ameriky, kde roku 1942 píše Prolegomena k Třetímu manifestu surrealismu anebo ne (Prolegomenes a un troisieme manifeste du suréalisme ou non).

Co by byl surrealismus bez Andrého Bretona? Co by byl Breton bez Nadji (1. vydání 1928, přepracované a doplněné vydání 1963), Spojitých nádob (1932), Šílené lásky (1937) a Arkánu 17 (1944)? Právě v tomto básnicko-esejistickém kvartetu, psaném v čase krizí, válek a totalit, nabízí Breton klíčová témata pro budoucnost - jak surrealismu, tak člověka i světa. Počínaje vírou v lásku a obrodnou moc ženy, přes nezbytnost snů a snění, po sílu poezie jako základního nástroje pro plnohodnotné čtení skutečnosti, pro kompletní život.

V této rozsáhlé a dnes již klasické monografii věnované André Bretonovi a základním tématům surrealismu se autor po důkladném rozboru geneze tohoto hnutí na historicko-kulturním pozadí věnuje nejen základním tématům a tvůrčím technikám surrealismu jako je automatické psaní nebo objektivní náhoda, ale zkoumá i jeho vztah k dobové vědě a k tradičním a ezoterním myšlenkovým proudům. Nemalé místo zde zabírá i rozbor vztahů mezi poezií a revolucí i mezi symbolismem a automatismem. Přestože kniha byla vydána již v padesátých letech 20. století, zůstává v mnoha ohledech nepřekonána zejména pro svou interpretační šíři a faktografickou přesnost.

New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art. It demonstrates the many ways in which the most significant art movement of the last century continues to be relevant today, featuring an international selection of contemporary artists whose compositions and studio practice reveal its influence. There are many modalities of historical Surrealism that still maintain contemporary currency: presenting the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny, the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated imagery, the use of absurdity to critique political or social issues, and the use of erotic imagery in an irrational, non-linear context.Not all the artists brought together in this book self-identify as Surrealist, per se, but each uses some variation of Surrealism in a personal manner. The book begins with a study of the origins, leadership, participating artists, and major milestones of historical Surrealism. Zeller chronicles the movement starting at the end of World War I and the birth of Dada.The most important players and events emerge throughout the timeline of events—including World War II, and such notable artists as Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington, and many others—up until the death of ...

The best concise account of the movement available.”—Michael Saler, Wall Street Journal  Selected by Art in America as an “Essential Book About Surrealism”  Why does Surrealism continue to fascinate us a century after André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism? How do we encounter Surrealism today? Mark Polizzotti vibrantly reframes the Surrealist movement in contemporary terms and offers insight into why it continues to inspire makers and consumers of art, literature, and culture.  Polizzotti shows how many forms of popular media can thank Surrealism for their existence, including Monty Python, Theatre of the Absurd, and trends in fashion, film, and literature. While discussing the movement’s iconic figures—including André Breton, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Man Ray, and Dorothea Tanning—he also broadens the traditionally French and male-focused narrative, constructing a more diverse and global representation.

Many people associate Surrealism with politics, but it was also permeated by occult ideas, a fact often overlooked by art historians. This occult influence goes beyond general themes to the movements very heart. This occult influence goes beyond general themes to the movements very heart. The antinomian stance of Surrealism can be traced directly to the influence of radical nineteenth century magi such as Eliphas Lévi, whose Dogma and Ritual of High Magic was widely read by Surrealisms ideologues. Amongst these we find its progenitor André Breton. The book shows how many Surrealists and their predecessors were steeped in magical ideas: Kandinsky, with his involvement with Theosophy, the sorcery of Salvador Dali; the alchemy of Pablo Picasso and the shamanism of Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington. Surrealism did not establish itself in Britain until the 1930s but a select few felt something in the air. Almost ten years before the Surrealist experiments with automatic drawing, an obscure English artist, Austin Osman Spare had perfected the technique.

From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in TASCHEN’s Library of Esotericaseries, astronomy and astrology were once sister sciences: the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Giza was built to align with constellations, Persian scholars oversaw some of the first observatories, and even Galileo cast horoscopes for the Medicis. But with the Enlightenment and the birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake. Later movements like the Theosophists and the New Agers, would thrust the practice into the mainstream.Edited by Jessica Hundley, this vibrant visual history of Western astrology explores the symbolic meaning behind hundreds ...

We cling to a distorted idea of freedom. To be free, we commonly think, means to be unconstrained. This widespread belief makes our societies less fair, as it fails to confront that freedom to act can mean freedom to dominate. But, as Andrea Capussela argues in this highly original combination of philosophy and economics, that is not all: it also makes us less prosperous. True freedom, Capussela writes, arises when no one is subject to another’s will, be that the will of an employer, Big Tech, or the so-called elite. A society that strives toward this higher ideal will become more innovative, as increasing numbers of people are granted enough security to flourish, experiment, and take risks. Capussela intertwines political philosophy with cutting-edge theories of economic growth, presenting the synergy between them as the basis for political programmes that can help western democracies rise above the legacy of neoliberalism and overcome their crisis.

Toyen je dodnes jednou z nejznámějších a nejuznávanějších avantgardních umělkyň na světě. Biografie této svobodomyslné malířky a výrazné osobnosti meziválečné umělecké avantgardy, která sama o sobě šířila mnoho mýtů, odkrývá dosud neznámá fakta a zachycuje historii mnoha obrazů. Spisovatelka a filmová režisérka Andrea Sedláčková prošla desítky archivů, policejních záznamů a dosud nepublikovaných deníků, aby objevila skutečnou Toyen. Strhujícím způsobem líčí její milostný život a dění mezi českými a francouzskými surrealisty a levicovými intelektuály. Dopřává nám setkání s Vítězslavem Nezvalem, Karlem Teigem, Jindřichem Heislerem, André Bretonem, Benjaminem Péretem, Paulem Eluardem a samozřejmě s Jindřichem Štyrským. Půvabné líčí pražské a pařížské galerie, kavárny, kabarety a nevěstince i atmosféru míst, kde malířka a její souputníci pobývali a tvořili. Současně nás seznamuje s historií mnoha Toyeniných obrazů. Text doprovází přes dvě stě reprodukcí a dokumentárních černobílých i barevných fotografií.

''Shows girlhood as it really was: brutal and tender, intimate and lonely, magical and utterly gross'' Anna Beecher''Sensual and dirty, absurdist and tragic. Abreu''s talent is thrilling to witness'' Irish TimesStuck in a working-class neighbourhood, high up among Tenerife''s volcanoes, a ten-year-old girl dreams of hitching a ride to the faraway beach.Instead she hangs out with her best friend, Isora. She likes everything about Isora. From the colour of her arms and her hair and her eyes to the way she writes the letter g with a huge tail. But she envies her too. Envies her grits and gut; her periods and her pubes; the way she is growing up at full tilt without her.As the summer goes on and the heat becomes ever more oppressive, friendship simmers into obsession, desire into intimate violence.''The sentences blast off the pages. Hilarious, devastating and brilliantly attuned to the erotics of friendship'' Jamel Brinkley''As sultry as the summer weather. Abreu beautifully evokes an era, in which Pokémon and Bratz dolls give way to sexual discovery'' GuardianTranslated by Julia Sanches.

One of Shakespeare’s late plays rewritten in contemporary language.  In her modern translation of Cymbeline, Andrea Thome takes up one of Shakespeare’s most complex plays. Thome’s update brings the play’s language into the present, highlighting new resonances and providing a more accessible version of Shakespeare’s play for today’s audiences. One of Shakespeare’s final plays, Cymbeline tells the story of the British king Cymbeline and his daughter, Imogen. It is a tale of deceit and jealousy, with accusations of infidelity that often draw comparisons to Othello and The Winter’s Tale. This translation of Cymbeline was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.
