Letters to Gala (European Sources)
by Paul Eluard
On This Page
Description
Toutes ces lettres, remises par Gala à sa fille Cécile Eluard ou retrouvées par cette dernière dans la succession de sa mère, sont inédites. On ne connaissait auparavant de cette correspondance que les lettres d'Eluard parues dans 'Lettres de Jeuness' (Seghers, 1962). Comme l'écrit le préfacier, p. 3-9, l'érotisme est ici "une des expressions multipliées de l'amour", mots simples et images fortes. En annexe, quinze lettres de Gala à Paul Eluard, écrites en 1916.Tags

Raised in a working class suburb, Eluard interrupted his studies to spend two years in a tuberculosis sanitorium, where he read widely in French, German, and American poetry. Associated early with the surrealists, he later fought in the resistance and joined the Communist party. His work combines the dreamlike techniques of surrealism, a political show more humanism, and an attention to the transforming power of love. Eluard remains one of the contemporary poets most widely read and appreciated in France. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
