Babylon is a landmark of Surrealist literature, an enduring achievement of one of its leading figures, Rene Crevel. Crevel explores the private worlds of children and their sexual imaginations in this important novel, now republished in the prestigious Sun & Moon Classics. A free-spirited young girl witnesses her father elope with a beautiful English cousin, the chambermaid run off with and then kill the gardener, her grandmother seduce her mother's new fiance, and her mother finally accept an arranged marriage with the bizarre Mac-Louf, darling of the Society for Protection by Rational Experience.

"This is the artist's most evocative and moving work. It surrealistically probes a child becoming a woman in Babylon where her father elopes with a cousin, the chambermaid runs off with an then kills the gardener, and her grandmother seduces her mother's new fiancı. This is a landmark of Surrealist literature."
