Beskrivelse
Farewell and a Handkerchief-Poems from the Road is a collection that reflects on the month-long travels of Czech poet Vitezslav Nezval through Vienna, Paris, southern France, and Italy. During this journey, on May 9, 1933, Nezval had a chance encounter with two of the surrealist movement's most influential poets-Andre Breton and Paul Eluard-while sitting at the Cardinal Cafe on the Grands Boulevards in Paris, a meeting that proved transformative. After returning home, Nezval helped found the Czech Surrealist Group, along with Karel Teige, Jindrich Styrsky, and Toyen. It became the only official group of its kind outside of France.
