He produced two books for the clandestine market. The finer of these was Les Onze Mille Verges. One of the most masterful and hilarious erotic novels of all time, it was once owlishly pronounced by Picasso to be Apollinaire's masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003eFor nearly seventy years this novel remained a legend. In 1973 the definitive version was published in France, on which edition The Times Literary Supplement commented: 'The rutting is non-stop. Who else would have turned a twosome into a foursome by the arrival of two randy burglars?

Lying in a hospital bed in 1915, recovering from combat wounds suffered in World War I, Apollinaire assembled the fragments of a tragicomic, mock-epic and occasionally obscene autobiography-à- The Poet Assassinated . This novella recounts the life and death of Croniamantal, whose birth is \"saluted\" by the Eiffel Tower's \"beautiful erection,\" who rises through the Parisian literary world to proclaim himself \"the greatest of living poets,\" and who is then torn to pieces by a mob. A statue built \"out of nothing, like poetry and glory,\" is constructed in his honor. This translation is by Matthew Josephson, an American editor who arrived in Paris just after the war and entered the circle of avant-garde artists and poets that had been galvanized by Apollinaire's life and death. Josephson was among the first to introduce these Dadaists and Surrealists to the U.S. via his small magazine, Broom , and among his most ambitious projects was this translation, published by Broom as a limited-edition book in 1923 and never since reprinted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/guillaume-apollinaire-books\"\u003eGuillaume Apollinaire\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grafton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780586073278\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grafton","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.86","offer_id":47912346091697,"sku":"SB-0586073272-C4","price":1.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0586073272.jpg?v=1789282468"},{"product_id":"apolinaire-on-art-essays-and-reviews-1902-1918","title":"Apolinaire on Art: Essays and Reviews, 1902-1918","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoet, critic, impresario, gadfly, visionary, tastemaker: more than anyone, Guillaume Apollinaire embodies the frenzied art world of Paris in the early 20th century. His rampant enthusiasms and antipathies, and his remarkable acumen, make him still today the most evocative commentator on the intellectual ferment of the time. In 1905 he championed Picasso and in 1907 he promoted Braque in reviews that were amazingly sharp and prescient. He first identified the importance of Delaunay, Duchamp, and Rousseau, coined the word \"Surrealism,\" and almost singlehandedly pushed Cubism into the mainstream.
