So you like poetry?
By pfictionfan4life
It is important that anyone do a little research or have an understanding of this kind of poetry before they do something like buy a book. That is because you may be wasting your money if you do not know what you are getting yourself into.
This book is a collection of fantastic poems from Paul Eluard. He was part of the Surrealist movement in France and his writings have changed many lives including mine. But if you do not like abstract thoughts, have difficulty reading complex literature, or just don't like "weird" stuff, I would suggest skipping this book. On the other hand if you revel in the abstract, enjoy thinking in terms you were not told to think in, by all means spend the $12 to get this book. I'll give you a sample since for some godforsaken reason nobody else has reviewed this book.
The big uninhabitable house-
In the middle of an astonishing island
That her limbs travel
She is nourished by a dazzled world.
The flesh one shows off to the curious
Waits there like harvests
To fall on the riverbanks.
Knowing she'll see further
Her eyes wider in the wind of her hands
She imagines the horizon has unbuckled its belt for her.
**If you want to see a good surrealist film I would also suggest Alphaville, which is how I learned about this phenomenal book.

Drown yourself in the mind's shadow
By Demeter
Paul Éluard's poetry assaults the reader with deeply personal and subconscious driven imagery. Only in the original French does the true brilliance of his writing reveal itself. Even so, this bi-lingual edition will bring Éluard more acolytes than every before. Éluard's poetry calls to us to follow him through the depths of surrealism and abstraction. It is a clarion call to artistic and literary revolution.
“There is another world, and it is in this one.”
― Paul Éluard

Capital of Pain:The Naked Truth of Surrealism.
By Lee Kwo
From "The Capital of Pain" by Paul Eluard. Death in Conversation: "Who else has your face. The good and the bad. Imaginable beauty. Infinite gymnastics. In mobility surpassing. Colours and kissing. Grand gestures in the night".The Capital of Pain comprising many of the poems and prose written by Eluard between 1921 and 1926 is widely considered Eluards finest surrealist achievement/The collection was acclaimed as the most unified exponent of Surrealisms creative intentions achieved by Paul Eluard. French poet, a founder of Surrealism with Louis Aragon and Andre; Breton among others, he was one of the most important lyrical poets of the 20th century. Éluard rejected later Surrealism and joined the French Communist Party. Many of his works reflect the major events of the century, such as the World Wars, the French Resistance against the Nazis, and the political and social ideals of the 20th-century. Capital of Pain has had a lasting impression on more readers than one might expect. 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 post war trauma. Paul Eluard was, through the years of surrealism , the most celebrated poet among that extraordinary grouping of poets. During a leave from the service in 1917, Eluard married a Russian woman, Helena Diakonova, known as Gala. Gala inspired several of Éluard's poems published in Capital of Pain, which established his reputation as a poet. It includes some of his poems on the subject of love [Au Coeur de mon amour] and L'Amourese'[A woman in love]There are also the well known celebrations of his life's visions and time [ Leur yeux toujours pous].[ "Days of slowness days of rain. Days of broken mirrors and misplaced needles. Days of eyelids shut against the sea. Of hours all alike, days of captivity"]. Among other subjects he wrote on many of his artist friends such as Max Ernst, George Braque, and Paul Klee. Later poems from the Capital of Pain punctuated Jean-Luc Godard's film Alphaville (1965), in which the existential secret agent, Lemmy Caution, battles with a copy of this "codebook" [Capital of Pain] against a totalitarian regime run by a computer Alpha 60. Alphavilles subtext is in part literary text--text from the poetry of Paul Eluard, readings aloud from whose work occur at various points in the film and allusions to whose work abounds in it. The word "love" is discussed from Eluards book as reference because there is no such word in Alphaville. Poetry is the key to love and freedom. "By chance a deliverance, by chance a shooting star and my heads eternal sky opens wider to its sun to the eternity of chance". Éluard had compiled the book during the period, when Gala had a liaison with the artist Max Ernst. The Capital of Pain refers in part to Eluards sadness at the demise of this relationship. The Capital of Pain contains melancholy poems as well as poems that celebrate life. Freud's theory of the unconscious deeply influenced avant-garde writers; especially the technique of automatic writing which was experimented with as a method to liberate the subconscious from the straitjacket of reason. However, Éluard practiced automatic writing very little relying on his own intensity of visions and dreams. Eluard considered the world a dull and disordered place and wanted to see a bright new irrational order in things. Do not be alarmed there is none of the irrational prose of Dada and much of the prose and poetry resonates in the work as words and images that are readily comprehensible. "all that really matters is to participate to move to understand". Eluard avoids immersing his work in the abstract complexity of much of the surrealist writing in circulation and counters the bleak harshness of reality with the vitality of hope and a vision of a world of enthralling images. From his short three line poems to his much longer works of prose Eluard is unique in both style and technique. He is more a poet than a surrealist.[She is] "She is-she is but only at midnight when all the white birds have closed their wings upon the ignorance of shadows....she is so sweet that she has transformed my heart". For Eluard the poet creates his own past and his own space from which he interrogates his emotions. Eluard is in many ways a simple poet who illuminates love and life while retaining a sense of universal profundity. This light reveals the poet as one of visionary aspirations regarding all too human emotions and personal pain. A great insight into the world of Eluard and surrealism.
