Summary
Guillaume Apollinaire: The Disappearance of Honore Subraco
A selection of stories by the French writer who made the greatest contribution to literature through experiments in the field of poetry, especially his surrealist poems. Although divided into three groups, the third of which brings material from the author's legacy, all these prose texts are characterized by similar features, namely a tendency towards the fantastic, mystical, bizarre and motifs from legends, especially Jewish ones. Fantastic elements and procedures for incorporating them into the text are often linked to previous or simultaneous stylistic periods (romanticism and symbolism), and the applied surrealist technique is almost never used.
