«Antología del humor negro» is André Breton's anthology of humour, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (446 pages, in Spanish).
A driving force of surrealism, André Breton brings together a selection of texts by various authors, united by a corrosive and irreverent gaze. Each piece is preceded by a brief biography of the corresponding writer, so that the anthology also serves as a journey through the different forms of black humour.
Translation by Joaquín Jordá. The French original, Anthologie de l'humour noir, was published in 1940.
For readers of acid humour and short fiction, particularly those interested in surrealism and French literature.
André Robert Breton was a French writer and poet, known as a principal theorist and co-founder of surrealism. His writings include the first Surrealist Manifesto of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism".
