192728456Paris: Editions Surrealistes. 1927. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps a fair to good copy with a ¾ " horizontal tear at the center of the spine affecting all pages and wraps the latter separated at spine or nearly so. The context of this pamphlet is that the five surrealists above applied for membership of the French Communist Party. Without going into detail we can say that this attempt to work together--where the surrealists tried harder than the Communists to make the collaboration a success--it was not a success.A series of such attempts would follow over the years but this was the first of its kind. In early 1926 the collaboration was coming apart.After defending the surrealists' independence in Legitime Defense Breton Aragon Eluard Peret and Unik published this series of open letters. Most were signed in holograph facsimile. The first was to Belgian surrealists Paul Nouge and Camille Goemans who already found the Communist Party's notion of Surrealism to be seriously incorrect; the second was to Marcel Fourrier of the French Communist Party organ Clarte who tried to bring together the surrealists and the Clarte; the third letter was to non-communist surrealists reminding them not to pretend that their anarchic principles made them politically equivalent to those surrealists who actually sign up to join the Party; the fourth letter was to Pierre Naville whose qualities were recognized but whose exact position was hard to determine. The fifth letter was to the French CP noting that the surrealists did not apply to the Party as surrealists; that the right to criticize must be respected in a revolutionary party; and that the surrealists should not be assigned political tasks that were beyond their area of competence. Throughout the years from 1925 to 1927 it was clear that many members of the Clarte group were totally against the surrealists and they never changed their opinion that the surerealists were not serious weere dilettantes and more. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 28 pp .

19460123<br /><br />With an Important Inscription by Aragon <br />Explicating the History of the Text<br /><br />Aragon Louis 1897-1982. La Naissance de la Paix par Rene Descartes: ballet danse au chateau royal de Stockholm le jour de la naissance de Sa Majeste 1649. Paris: Bibliotheque Francaise pour les amis de l'auteur J. Dumoulin 1946. Copy #128 of 300 signed by Aragon. In addition this copy bears a full-page inscription Aragon. 4to. Original wrappers glassine. 34p. plus colophon. <br /><br />With an inscription which reveals the bibliographic history of the original translation: <br /><br />"Your father has requested that I write a poem on the dance for you. It is not possible because I am incapable but this book is on dance. It is a description of a ballet by Rene Descarte written in 1649 for the birthday of the Queen of Sweden. There must be a manuscript in Stockholm but I based my writing on a manuscript which existed before the war in the Bibliotheque Nationale which has since vanished. Here I have expanded the text with comments. For precious Sandra for when she is a big girl who will charm the world with her dancing. Signed Aragon 18 June 1977." <br /><br />When Rene Descartes was 54 he went to Stockholm at the invitation of Queen Christina. It is said that because Descartes refused to dance at a court ball Queen Christina charged him with writing the verses for a court ballet La Naissance de la Paix. The ballet was composed for performance on 8 December 1649 the 23rd birthday of the Queen. It celebrates the Peace of Westphalia at the end of the Thirty Years' war which was more or less won by Sweden. <br /><br />According to a recent study by Richard Watson "the evidence of Descartes' authorship is virtually nonexistent. Almost certainly the ballet was written by Helie Poirier a professional writer of French verse." <br /><br />References: Watson Richard A. Descartes's Ballet 2007. Dumoulin books
