HIDDEN FACES - SALVADOR DALI TASCHENBUCH

The only novel by the twentieth century's most acclaimed surrealist painter  a richly visual
depiction of a group of eccentric aristocrats in the years preceding World War II The book is
so full of visual invention  so witty  so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's
difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant evaluation of himself as a genius. --
Observer In swirling  surreal prose  the iconic artist Salvador Dalí portrays the intrigues and
love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats who  in their luxury and extravagance 
symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. In the shadow of encroaching war  their tangled lives
provide a thrilling vehicle for Dalí's uniquely spirited imagination and artistic vision.
Hidden Faces beckons readers to enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from Dali's
paintings. The story unfolds in vividly visual terms  beginning in the Paris riots of February
1934. The journey leading to the closing days of the Second World War constitutes a brilliant
and dramatic vehicle for Dali's unique vision. Start the first page and you are in the presence
of an old-fashioned baroque novel  intelligent  extravagant  as photographically precise as his
paintings but not so silly ... Dali notices everything ... -- Guardian
