"Crevel, avec ce beau regard d'adolescent que nous gardent quelques photographies, les séductions qu'il exerce, les craintes et les bravades aussi promptes à s'éveiller en lui... à travers tout cela c'est l'angoisse qui domine. Il est d'ailleurs psychologiquement très complexe, contrecarré dans une sorte de frénésie qui le possède par son amour du XVIIIe et particulièrement de Diderot" (A. Breton, Entretiens 1913-1952, avec André Parinaud, 1952)



First edition, this copy inscribed in the form of a calligram to Paul Éluard, one of the two dedicatees of the book with André Breton
