PÉRET (Benjamin). - Lot 228
PÉRET (Benjamin). Paris, Association of Friends of Benjamin Péret – José Corti Bookstore, 1987. In-8, paperback, pink laid paper cover printed in blue, printed spine. Phototypeset in 12-point Bodoni and printed in April 1987 by Imprimerie de la Manutention in Mayenne. The fourth volume of the Complete Works of Benjamin Péret, published by the Association of Friends of Benjamin Péret, with the support of the Centre National des Lettres. The volume opens with a study by Robert Sabatier devoted to Benjamin Péret and brings together several major texts or works that have become difficult to find separately: *Le Gigot, sa vie, son œuvre*, *La Brebis galante*, *Les Rouilles encagées*, *Morts ou vifs*, *Au paradis des fantômes*, *Histoire naturelle*, and *L’Écriture automatique*. Of particular interest is the section devoted to collaborative works, which includes several important texts from the Surrealist movement: *152 proverbes mis au goût du jour*, co-authored with Paul Éluard; *Comme il fait beau*, with André Breton and Robert Desnos; *L’Enfant planète*, with Robert Desnos; and the *Calendrier tour du monde des inventions tolérables*, with André Breton. The collection is rounded out by notes and variants. This publishing project by the Association des amis de Benjamin Péret constitutes the definitive edition, which has made it possible to gradually bring together a body of work that was previously highly scattered and is essential to the history of Surrealism. A very fine copy, practically flawless, in its original pink cover, which is particularly fresh.
