{"product_id":"liberty-or-love-and-mourning-for-mourning-9781900565455","title":"Liberty or Love! and Mourning for Mourning","description":"Mystery, the marvelous, the city of Paris transmuted by love, and Sanglot the Corsair's pursuit of the siren Louise Lame: these are the essential ingredients of \u003ci\u003eLiberty or Love \u003c\/i\u003e, a masterpiece of early Surrealism written by Robert Desnos (1900-1945) and first published in 1924 to immediate acclaim. Characters appear and disappear at whim; they walk underwater and accept the most astounding coincidences with calm nonchalance. This crown jewel of Surrealist eroticism is part hymn to the erotic and part adventure story illumined by the shades of Lautr amont, Jack the Ripper and Sade. Desnos was famously lauded by Andr  Breton--in his \u003ci\u003eFirst Manifesto of Surrealism\u003c\/i\u003e--for having come \"closest to the Surrealist truth,\" and his novel is a dream at once violent and tender--the perfect embodiment, in fact, of the Surrealist spirit: joyful and despairing, and effortlessly scandalous. This new hardback edition also includes \u003ci\u003eMourning for Mourning\u003c\/i\u003e, Desnos' first book--his own selection of his early stories from the \"period of sleeping fits\" and automatic writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlas Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900565455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 6.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Robert Desnos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39397463556277,"sku":"9781900565455","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_35c29687-443b-45d6-8d4f-c9bd8f16e242.jpg?v=1615296806","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/liberty-or-love-and-mourning-for-mourning-9781900565455","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
