«Le Grand Jeu» is a poetry collection by French Surrealist writer Benjamin Péret, published by Gallimard in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Surrealist-rooted verses in which Benjamin Péret strips away all literary vanity and writes from the depths of his being. Against the fame achieved by Éluard or Prévert, Péret's poetry defends love as a demand of the heart and of morality, while also sustaining a critical and uncompromising gaze toward politics and society.
This 1969 edition, number 43 in the Poésie/Gallimard collection, includes a preface by Robert Benayoun. The collection originally appeared in 1928.
Recommended for poetry readers and for those who wish to explore French Surrealism through one of its members.
Benjamin Péret was a French poet, Parisian Dadaist, and founder and central member of the French Surrealist movement with his avid use of Surrealist automatism.
