Paris Peasant by Aragon (Stanley Chapman Dust Jacket)

Originally published in 1926, Paris Peasant ‘is one of the central works of Surrealism. Unconventional in form and fiercely modern, Aragon uses the city of Paris as a framework interlacing text with the city’s ephemera: café menus, maps, monument inscriptions, newspaper cuttings and the lives of its citizens.’  First English edition in original psychedelic dust-wrapper by Stanley Chapman.  Translated and introduced by Simon Watson Taylor.  No inscriptions, highlighting or underlining.  Binding strong.  Dust-wrapper price clipped, slightly foxed and a little worn to edges.  Text clean and bright.
