Intriguing, but I found the introduction & translator's preface to be more interesting than the book itself! For certain moods and connoisseurs of surrealism, I suppose. > Par Grégoire Leménager ( BibliObs) : Pour les fous de Breton : l'extraordinaire manuscrit d'"Arcane 17" 23 fév. 2012 ... L'un des plus beaux manuscrits du poète reproduit (presque) à l'identique: c'est le résultat d'un an et demi de travail, pour un tirage à 100 exemplaires. Etonnant. ... Pour cet universitaire renommé, spécialiste du surréalisme, cela ne fait aucun doute: le «manuscrit autographe» d'«Arcane 17» (à découvrir sur CanalObs.tv en cliquant ici), ce long poème en prose rédigé par André Breton pendant l'été 1944, au cours d'un périple en Gaspésie avec sa seconde femme, Elisa, n'est pas seulement «un des plus beaux du XXème siècle». Il s'agit aussi d'un véritable «poème-objet», conçu comme une oeuvre d'art à part entière... Arcanum 17 by Breton 3 stars (2 for enjoyment and a bump for intelligence and wonderfully lyrical prose) Breton's Arcanum 17 is essentially a long essay in which he muses about love, loss, war, feminism, and a number of other things. Inspired by the image of the Perce Rock in Quebec, he uses this vision as a metaphor for a range of topics. The book itself was barely larger than my cellphone and only 133 pages (with additional pages for an intro and other material) but it took me over two weeks to read. This is one of those books that I couldn't read in bed for fear of falling asleep. In fact I fell asleep reading this on my couch, in my car (with my husband driving), and multiple times in bed. It's well written and there is no question that he is an intellectual powerhouse. I did enjoy some parts of the book but it required such intensity of focus and concentration, that it felt like a chore. He has some interesting thoughts about the rights and roles women that are quite advanced for the period in which they were written. The writing is poetic and I liked how he blended imagery form nature into his philosophical musings. I am at a loss for why it is on the 1001 list. It is certainly not a novel but rather reads like an academic essay. I could really only read two pages at a time because I found it fairly boring albeit beautifully written. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Considered radical at the time, Breton's ideas today seem almost prescient, yet breathtaking in their passionate underlying belief in the indestructibility of life and the freedom of the human spirit. Breton wrote Arcanum 17 during a trip to the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec in the months after D-Day in 1944, when the allied troops were liberating Occupied Europe. Using the huge Perce Rock - its impermanence, its slow-motion crumbling, its singular beauty - as his central metaphor, Breton considers issues of love, loss, aggression, war, pacifism and feminism.
