Free Rein by Andre Breton
Having broken decisively with Marxism in the mid-1930s, the author addresses the horrors of the Stalinist regime (which denounced him during the Moscow trials of 1936). He argues for the autonomy of art and poetry and condemns the subservience to "revolutionary" aims exemplified by socialist realism.
