CREVEL, René. Le Clavecin de Diderot. Paris: Editions Surréalistes, 1932. Octavo, 168pp. First regular paper edition of the penultimate work by this great surrealist prosaist, a meditation on art and politics which has been called "the most powerfully argued defense of the irrational since Nietzsche." Generally regarded as the member of the movement who lived its creed most devoutly, his inability to reconcile his aesthetic and political beliefs (he was a member of the Communist Party) contributed to his suicide in 1935. Inscribed by Crevel in English, "Good afternoon my dear Robert (?). That is the book, and the writer is again and always taking?????" Minor foxing and a short tear to base of spine, edges frail and acidic, yet a very good copy in publisher's printed red wrappers.
