The dreaming Life of Leonora de la Cruz

A whimsical tale about an 18th c. visionary saint discovered 200 years after her death by the French Surrealists who worshipped her as the patron saint of the subconscious. Saint Leonora sees in her dreams the dark future of humanity: floods, wars, revolutions, falling governments and more. With her eyes closed between dreaming and meditation she dictates her visions to a nun seated by her bedside. As described in scholarly and witty words, illustrated with imagination and irony, it may well be the greatest and most unique Surrealist work ever in its ability to alter our perceptions of reality.
