Abstract EN:
Desnos and the surrealists, following great authors like sade, rimbaud. . . Have tried to desacralize love. They considered eros a subversive force. Desnos actively participed in the movement from 1922 on. He became a recogniced authority on erotic litterature following research into the subject which he began in 1923. Desnos's works were inspired by "second range" writings. Therefore the work our study refers to can be analized in the light of the precursors of surrealism. We could not, however, disgregard the author's actual experiences, which are closely linked to his writing. As "la liberte ou l'amour" speaks above all of love desnos own emotional life is reflected in it. The principal characters of this erotic narrative are based on existing people. It follows that the author's preoccupation with the themes explored in this book endows them with divinity. Immortalised in this work, desnos's love goes beyond his human condition to eternity. In this "religion of love", desnos celebrated all the women he's adored whilst annoncing youki : with whom he had the overwelming encounter and to whom he bound his life in 1928. But it is only in litterature that desnos reaches his much hoped for ideal in litterature where all dreams are true.
Abstract FR:
Desnos et les surrealistes, sur l'image de grands auteurs comme sade, rimbaud. . . Ont desacralise l'amour. Ils ont considere l'eros comme force subversive. Desnos a participe activement au mouvement des 1922. Ses recherches en litterature erotique, entreprises en 1923, lui ont permis d'acquerir une connaissance en la matiere. L'oeuvre de desnos s'inspire de ces ecrits de "second rayon". Ainsi, l'ouvrage de reference de notre etude peut etre analyse dans l'eclairage des precurseurs du surrealisme. On ne pourrait cependant faire abstraction du vecu de l'auteur, etroitement lie a son ecriture. Sa vie affective est imbriquee dans "la liberte ou l'amour", car c'est de l'amour que ce livre traite avant tout. Les heros de ce recit erotique ont des doubles reels. Ainsi, les themes abordes dans ce livre sembleraient preoccuper l'auteur en deca de sa creation litteraire. Un symbolisme particulier est attribue a la femme qui la transpose au rang des deesses. L'amour de desnos est immortalise dans son oeuvre, depassant sa condition d'humain pour s'etendre a l'eternite. Dans cette "religion de l'amour", desnos celebre toutes les femmes qu'il a adorees, en annoncant youki : la rencontre bouleversante qu'il fera en 1928, et qui unira sa vie a la sienne. Mais desnos n'atteindra pleinement l'ideal espere que dans la litterature ou tous les reves se realisent.
