Ramón Gómez de la Serna was a Spanish writer, dramatist, and avant-garde agitator, renowned for his unique "greguerías." This concise poetic form, akin to a comedic one-liner, offers a fresh and often humorous perspective on the world. His innovative approach to language and form significantly influenced artistic movements of his time, including surrealism. Gómez de la Serna produced an extensive body of work across various literary genres, leaving behind a legacy of playful yet profound observations.
A tribute to two great Spanish personalities of our century, the painter Salvador Dali and the writer Ramon Gomez de la Serna. Gomez's study of Dali, who illustrated the text, was almost complete when the writer died in 1963. About fifteen years later the work was discovered among some of Gomez's writings, photographs and illustrations and published posthumously as this magnificent book.
