Le Front rouge.

First edition of the poem Le Front Rouge.
Following the publication of Aragon's poem "Red Front" in the first issue of the journal "La Littérature de la Révolution mondiale", the government prosecuted the poet for provocation to assassination. Aragon in this poem indeed called for "getting down the cops" and "sweeping the Elysée". The copies of the magazine were therefore seized and destroyed by the courts.
The surrealists immediately took to the defense of their comrade and published a series of pamphlets and leaflets. André Breton notably defends the total freedom of poetry. However, Aragon did not recognize himself in Breton's texts and announced his break with the surrealist movement in March 1932. An important episode in French literary history during which each of the actors of the surrealist movement was able to express their position on the place poetry in society.
Rare copy of this magazine having escaped judicial seizure, absent from most collections devoted to surrealism.

André Vasseur, scholar and great collector of literary journals, has here supplemented the copy of the journal with 8 other pieces (brochures and leaflets) published by surrealist circles about this affair. On a page bringing together bibliographical notes in his hand, he notices that most collections of this type do not have number 1 of "La Littérature de la Révolution mondiale"
