Salvador Dalí’s only novel beckons readers into the surrealist world already familiar to us from his paintings. In swirling prose, the iconic artist describes the intriguing love affairs and absurd escapades of a group of eccentric aristocrats, from the Paris riots of 1934 until the closing days of the Second World War.

Following the thwarted affair between the Comte de Grandsailles and Solange de Clèda, this is a story of mistaken identities and unfulfilled passions, brimming with wartime espionage and irrepressible decadence. In this inimitable novel, Dalí’s imagination and artistic vision reverberate through his characters’ tangled lives.
