Hidden Faces

Synopsis

In Salvador Dali's Hidden Faces we enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from his paintings. Dali describes, in vividly visual terms, the intrigues and love affairs of a group of dazzling eccentric aristocrats who symbolize the decadence of pre-war Europe. The story, beginning in the Paris riots of February 1934 to the closing days of the Second World War constututes a brilliant and dramatic vehicle for Dali's unique vision.

Media Reviews
'The book is so full of visual invention, so witty, so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant evaluation of himself as a genius.' - George Melly, Observer 'Start the first page and you are in the presence of an old-fashioned baroque novel, intelligent, extravagent, as photographically precise as his paintings but not so silly ... Dali notices everything ...' - P.J. Kavanagh, Guardian
