The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí
This early autobiography provides a vivid look at Salvador Dalí’s life up to 1941. Dalí gives the reader a fascinating glimpse at both his psychological and artistic obsessions.
Hidden Faces
This work discloses many of the motivations behind Dalí’s work. It is a story that depicts the lives and love affairs of a group of eccentric European aristocrats who symbolize the decadence of Europe in the 1930’s.
