The poetry of Eluard is that of the real world and its natural sensations and
feelings. The main themes that stand out are love, brotherhood and kindness.
His imagery is characterized by its appeal to the senses and the importance of
concrete objects and of everyday things. In these translations by Gilbert
Bowen, the best work of Paul Eluard, perhaps the most popular of twentieth
century French poets, has been collected in a bilingual edition. This edition
contains a representative selection of poems from different periods and
different aspects of his vast output.
Paul Eluard(1895-1952) was a French poet and a founder member of the
surrealist movement
