Krátky popis

Playful, sharp and fantatsical: a new selection of writing by Leonora Carrington, the last great SurrealistIn 1940, Leonora Carrington - a twenty-two-year-old British-born Surrealist artist - was persuaded to flee France and the advancing German army for Spain. Already suffering from a psychotic break occasioned by the arrest of her lover by the Nazi authorities, she was soon confined to a mental institution, where she was subjected to sadistic treatment under the guise of medical care. In her memoir, Down Below, she describes her experiences with an anthropologist's precision and an artist's sense of the fantastic.This volume also includes a selection of Carrington's best stories from across her lifetime, functioning as companion pieces to her surrealist-inflected non-fiction. They include 'The Debutante', in which a young woman, wishing to avoid a ball in her honour, swaps places with a hyena, 'White Rabbits', which sees a friendly neighbour come by to ask for spare decomposing meat, and 'My Flannel Knickers', in which a woman has sainthood forced upon her.
