Edition 69

Selections from the original six volumes of surrealist, erotic literature and illustration from 1931 available for the first time. Because of censorship laws, Edition 69 series was never for sale, nor was it made available to libraries. The books were exclusively for subscribers, collectors, and a circle of friends, the Czech avant-garde investigating the taboos of bourgeois culture. This volume includes the two most important texts in the series: * Nezval's Sexual Nocturne * Styrsky's Emilie Come to Me in a Dream * an original essay from psychoanalyst Bohuslav Brouk, a founding member of the Czechslovak Surrealist Group and much influenced by Max Ernst.
