Between 1928 and 1930, the Paris magazine Le Grand Jeu (The Great Game) ran to three issues. During its brief period of activity, however, Le Grand Jeu was more than a little magazine that vanished in the orbit of the Surrealist movement. The journal was the public face of a tightly-bound group of artists and writers who since adolescence had systematically attacked their perceptions of reality by means such as drugs and near-death experiences. The theory of Le Grand Jeu is presented in the group's own words, through the essays and articles which formed the magazine.

Playing for Keeps

L'auteur des Liaisons dangereuses a ete une des personnalites les plus moqueuses, les plus insolentes, les plus insoumises de la fin du XVIIIe siecle. Successivement defenseur du roi, ami de la famille d'Orleans, soutien de la Republique, membre du club des jacobins, partisan de Napoleon Bonaparte, Choderlos de Laclos a traverse la Revolution et ses fracas sans jamais epouser une autre cause que celle de la liberte. Voici sa vie fabuleuse, ou litterature et legerete n'ont cesse d'affronter la politique et la guerre, racontee par son plus grand admirateur.
