The only novel of the twentieth century's most acclaimed surrealist painter, a richly visual depiction of a group of eccentric aristocrats in the years preceding the Second World War.
Salvador Dalí's only novel beckons readers into the surrealist world already familiar to us from his paintings. In swirling prose, the iconic artist describes the intriguing love affairs and absurd escapades of a group of eccentric aristocrats, from the Paris riots of 1934 until the closing days of the Second World War.
Following the thwarted affair between the Comte de Grandsailles and Solange de Clèda, this is a story of mistaken identities and unfulfilled passions, brimming with wartime espionage and irrepressible decadence. In this inimitable novel, Dalí's imagination and artistic vision reverberate through his characters' tangled lives.

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was a Spanish surrealist painter renowned for his striking, bizarre painting style that drew deeply on his explorations of the subconscious. He was strongly influenced by the writings of Sigmund Freud, as well as the Paris Surrealists who sought to establish the "greater reality" of the human subconscious over reason. Some of his most famous works include The Persistence of Memory, and the two Surrealist films Un Chien andalou (The Andalusian Dog) and L'Âge d'or (The Golden Age), made with the Spanish director Luis Buñuel. Hidden Faces is his only novel, and was first published in 1944.
