Capital of Pain, first published in 1926, has had a lasting impression on more readers than one might expect. Young Frenchmen between the wars carried it in their backpacks; other poets were dazzled, young and old, all discussed and often argued about this remarkable book. Indeed, it has never gone out of print in France. Today this collection is thought by many to be the key to grasping what Surrealist texts are like. It clearly shows the freshness of early Surrealism, as well as the despair of postwar trauma. Paul Eluard (1895-1952) was a founder, along with Andre Breton and Louis Aragon, of the Surrealist group and was, through the years, the most celebrated poet among that extraordinary grouping of poets. This volume, the first new translation of this work in over thirty years, presents the text of Capital of Pain in its entirety in a bilingual format. Translator Mary Ann Caws also provides an insightful and in depth survey of Eluard's poems and writings.

Paul Éluard was one of the most important of the early surrealists. Born in Paris in 1895, Éluard first became involved with the Dada movement, and after the war, disgusted by the commonly accepted laws of bourgeois morality, involved himself with surrealism. His fame as a poet began with Capitale de la Douleur (1926) and continued over the next 26 years with over 50 books. Une Leçon de Morale (A Moral Lesson) appeared in 1949, three years before his death.

SEGHERS

Sa maman l'avait appelée Caroline parce que c'était le nom d'une île, d'un bateau et d'une princesse. Caroline vivait heureuse dans l'amour de sa mère et le bonheur de son enfance. Mais un jour, elle voit les actualités et connaît la guerre que se livrent les hommes, la souffrance des enfants qui meurent de faim et dont les maisons brûlent sous le feu des armes. Alors Caroline décide de ne plus grandir, de conserver le paradis de son enfance. Et l'enfant ne grandit plus. Jusqu'au jour où dans son rêve du prince charmant, elle l'entend lui dire : "tu es trop petite". Caroline comprend alors qu'elle veut grandir.Paul Eluard considérait ce texte comme inachevé, aussi Jacqueline Duhème, qui illustre magnifiquement l'écriture du poète, l'a-t-elle harmonieusement ponctué de quelques vers. Hommage au paradis de l'enfance, cette prose magnifique veut expliquer aux enfants que la guerre est une horreur au milieu de la terre, si jolie. Paul Eluard confie aux enfants la mission de voir clair dans l'attente du jour où "l'espoir tendra sa voile", où plus personne n'aura peur de vivre.A partir de 6 ans
