It was written between 1868 and 1869 by the Comte de Lautr\u00E9amont, the pseudonym of the Uruguayan-born French writer Isidore-Lucien Ducasse. Many of the surrealists (Salvador Dal\u00ED, Andr\u00E9 Breton, Antonin Artaud, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Max Ernst, etc.) during the early 20th century cited the novel as a major inspiration to their own works."@en . .
