Original titleThe Automatic Message, the Magnetic Fields, the Immaculate Conception (Atlas Anti-Classics)
This book collects together the two most vital "automatic" texts of Surrealism -- The Magnetic Fields (1919) and The Immaculate Conception (1930) -- with Breton's prefatory essay "The Automatic Message" which relates this technique to the underlying concepts and aesthetic of the Surrealist movement.
