Abstract

This paper is a detailed reading on Le Paysan de Paris (1928), by Louis Aragon, one of the most meaningful narratives about surrealist fascination on French capital. We intend to show here that in this literary representation of the city, the frontiers between poetry and reality are abolished by means of a crossing that reveals Paris surreal faces: a city with a ludic dimension because it is created from ill-assorted and mismatched references, a labyrinthine space and a laboratory for the senses, created in the Aragons writing image.
