22. Ediciones Dos Amigos. Breton,
Andre. Poemas. Translated by Enrique Molina. Buenos
Aires: Ediciones Dos Amigos, 1974.

printed in gold on maroon leather, boards covered with
yellow-green grass paper, fine. There are 6 full page
aquatints by Aberastury, 5 of which are in color, and one

artist has handwritten the text and etched it on the plate
and printed it on a green ground, with the exception of the
last page which is printed on a yellow ground for the size
of the text line and then the text printed green. The
full-page images are remarkable. This is brilliant
print-making. Conceived as an homage to Breton, it was
published on the 50th anniversary of the publication of
Breton’s SURREALIST MANIFESTO under the direction of Samuel
Cesar Palui. Certainly a masterpiece of Surreal art and
text, it was exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou in the

Estanislao del Campo (1834-1880) is one of the most popular
Argentine poets; his gaucho-burlesque poem - here reprinted
- is his most popular work. The CARTA tells of Anastasio the
Chicken who, by chance, attends a performance of Gounod’s
FAUST. Unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, he
takes the opera’s events to heart. The images herein - of
Faust and the chicken-man are fabulous - a fantasy of
unending imagination. (9724)

William
Henry Hudson (1841-1922), author, ornithologist and
naturalist, was born in Argentina to U.S. parents. At age 28
he moved to England where his ornithological titles earned
him renown. This autobiographical reminiscence of his youth
in Argentina rivals his novel, GREEN MANSIONS, as his best
known work. His scholarly efforts were not eclipsed by his
literary career. He was a founding member of the Royal
Society for the Protection of Birds and is a leading figure
in the back-to-nature movement of the 1920’s and 1930’s. He
is considered to belong to the national literature of the
country of his birth, Argentina, and this extraordinary
edition of his time there is a worthy homage. (9721)
