«Oeuvres complètes» is the poetic work of Isidore Ducasse, comte de Lautréamont, published by Gallimard in paperback (512 pages, in French).
It brings together the six cantos of «Les Chants de Maldoror», a prose epic published in 1869 by Isidore Ducasse under the pseudonym of comte de Lautréamont, along with his letters and the «Poésies I and II». The work stands out for its disturbing imagination, expressive violence and exploration of the limits of consciousness, and is counted among the antecedents of surrealism.
It appears in Gallimard's Poésie collection, with a preface by J.M.G. Le Clézio and edited by Hubert Juin. Published in 1973.
For readers of French poetry interested in the origins of surrealism: Lautréamont is considered a precursor of the movement.
