AU TOUR DES LIVREES SANGLANTES! 1956.

Paris: Surrealist group, 1956

24 x 16, 4pp. First edition of this tract reasserting the surrealist group’s adherence to the Third International and condemning the French imperialist struggle in Algeria (calling for a cease fire) and lining the group up with other international struggles (such as the Spanish student revolts).

Additionally the brochure quotes Eluard’s poem in praise of Stalin in full emphasising in bold the lines which Breton saw as particularly offensive and anti-revolutionary. Signed in print by Bedouin, Benayoun, Breton, Brunius, Dax, Legrand, Mitrani and Peret amongst others. An image of Leon Trotsky by Annenkoff is reproduced on the back cover. Fine.
