The author:
Born in Paris in 1897, Louis Aragon is only twenty years old when he meets André Breton in 1917 and joins up with him in the surrealist movement. In 1926, the publication of his novel The Peasant of Paris [Le Paysan de Paris] makes him a shooting star of the literary avant-garde. In the 1920ies, he joins the Communist party where he meets Elsa Triolet, the love of his life and future spouse. He subsequently detaches himself from surrealism to become a politically active writer. During the Second World War, he joins the French Resistance and secretly publishes several collections of poems with the help of Pierre Seghers. After the liberation of France, Aragon continues his work as a novelist and poet while also remaining a politically active writer. He dies in Paris in 1982, twelve years after the disappearance of the woman he has never ceased to cherish and to celebrate in his life and his works. Five of his collections of poems have been published by Éditions Seghers.
