The first Manifesto of Surrealist by Andre Breton
Description
This writen manifesto gave a light definition and goal to the philosophical idea of surrealism.
The manifesto tries to explain the need for surrealism and why it has become (again) a way of thinking.
Andre Breton wanted to give a purpose to the importance of bringing to light superstition and myth because they are as valuable in defining truths as science.
