Nadja
A new translation of one of the defining works of the French surrealist movement, an energetic autobiographical novel that is at once both a tumultuous romance story and an initiation into the surrealism of everyday life. The most renowned of all surrealist literary works, Andr Breton's Nadja has been stirring passions and imaginations since its first publication in 1928. At once a poignant romance, an autobiography, a philosophical inquiry into questions of identity, and a lively illustration of the surrealist belief in life-changing chance, Nadja relates the fortuitous meeting and brief, tumultuous relationship between Breton, surrealism's founder and primary theorist, and the 'wandering soul' who called herself Nadja, 'because in Russian it's the beginning of the word for hope, and because it's only the beginning.'

Nadja
'Nadja, ' originally published in France in 1928, is the first and perhaps best Surrealist romance ever written, a book which defined that movement's attitude toward everyday life. The principal narrative is an account of the author's relationship with a girl in teh city of Paris, the story of an obsessional presence haunting his life. The first-person narrative is supplemented by forty-four photographs which form an integral part of the work -- pictures of various 'surreal' people, places, and objects which the author visits or is haunted by in naja's presence and which inspire him to mediate on their reality or lack of it. 'The Nadja of the book is a girl, but, like Bertrand Russell's definition of electricity as 'not so much a thing as a way things happen, ' Nadja is not so much a person as the way she makes people behave. She has been described as a state of mind, a feeling about reality, k a kind of vision, and the reader sometimes wonders whether she exists at all. yet it is
