In order to survive in a world that is turning on its head, this Guide offers us a true user guide to surrealism or rather, recipes for life accessible to both the amateur curious to deepen his knowledge and the novice seeking to understand the world around him differently.
Over the course of fifty-six fairly brief chapters, based on the experiments carried out by the surrealists, Agnieszka Taborska, a specialist in this movement, gives us recommendations and advice on various subjects: what to read, what to eat and how, what to drink, where and how, how to be young, how to age well, how to know yourself, how to cause a scandal, how to converse with animals, how to use your imagination, how to construct a philosophy from the obvious, how not to commit suicide, how to break off a relationship, etc.
Along the way, she takes us on a wandering tour of the Paris of the Surrealists, introducing us to their techniques, telling us about their pranks and disputes, and unwittingly enriching our knowledge, while treating us to numerous true and sometimes comical anecdotes. Thanks to her lively writing, we encounter great figures of this movement, such as André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Luis Buñuel, Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington and many others.
