The only novel by the twentieth century's most acclaimed surrealist painter a richly visual depiction of a group of eccentric aristocrats in the years preceding World War II The book is so full of visual invention so witty so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant evaluation of himself as a genius. -- Observer In swirling surreal prose the iconic artist Salvador Dalí portrays the intrigues and love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats who in their luxury and extravagance symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. In the shadow of encroaching war their tangled lives provide a thrilling vehicle for Dalí's uniquely spirited imagination and artistic vision.
