BRETON, André (1896-1966), René CHAR (1907-1988) et Paul ÉLUARD (1895-1952)
Ralentir travaux. Paris : Éditions surréalistes, 1930.

Édition originale.
L'exemplaire de Louis Aragon, avec un long poème autographe signé des trois auteurs, sous forme de cadavre exquis.

De la main de Paul Éluard :
"à Louis Aragon
Tous les soirs
à minuit
NOS CHARMANTS FANTÔMES
viendront vous faire peur.
Vous ne devinerez de leurs attraits
que ce qu'il faut pour en rêver."

De la main d'André Breton :
"Bonne table et mauvais gîte
DISCRÉTION
comme il n'en existe que dans l'absolu
Petit filet de sang tiré au sort
chaque soir sous une porte
Les ruines sont à l'intérieur
mais illusion parfaite (feux follets)
Trouvailles dans le parc à moins de 30 cm
de profondeur"

De la main de René Char :
"Sauf-conduit pour
à hauteur d'homme
un jour par mois on sable (?) le temps
de quoi fouetter le sphinx
ENFIN
les grands voyageurs trouveront des cris
pour toutes les directions
LA PRÉSENTE INVITATION
TIENT LIEU
DE
PASSE-PARTOUT"

Publié à une période charnière du mouvement, cet exemplaire est le témoin des relations tumultueuses à l'intérieur du groupe surréaliste à l'heure où il faut choisir son camp politique et littéraire, soit, en simplifiant à l'extrême : Staline ou Breton ?
Aragon choisit le premier et cet exemplaire devrait être le dernier dédicacé par Breton à Aragon.

In-4 (289 x 195 mm). Broché, couverture rempliée. Édition originale. Tirage à 300 exemplaires, un des 22 exemplaires sur Hollande van Gelder, n° 17, après 8 sur Chine, signé par les trois auteurs aux encres brune, jaune et orange.
Provenance : Louis Aragon (envoi).

First edition. Louis Aragon's copy, inscribed to him, with a long autograph poem by the three authors at the half-title, in the form of the surrealist game "cadavre exquis".
