Robert Desnos

Robert Desnos was born in Paris in 1900 and died of typhus in 1945 in the Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. One of the founders of Surrealism in literature, he gradually broke from the movement to pursue a broader range of expression. He worked in radio and underground publishing and also served in the French Resistance.
