Luis Buñuel, one of the greatest film directors of all time, the father of surrealist cinema, writes lyrically and passionately about his middle-class boyhood in the provincial Spanish town; his residence as an engineering student in Madrid, where he began to find his way into the surrealist movement of the twenties; his pilgrimage to Paris, home of surrealism; his association with Max Ernst, Picasso, and André Breton; and his involvement in the Spanish Civil War. But Above all the book is, of course, about Buñuel’s long and distinguished cinematic career. (back cover copy)
