Dialogues came naturally to Paul Val茅ry, providing the common ground between imagination and philosophy that he was always seeking. He called the dialogue 鈥渢he most supple of the forms of expression,鈥 saying that 鈥淚 found I was talking to myself in two voices, and began to write accordingly.鈥 This volume brings together all his formal imaginary dialogues, including two, Eupalinos and Dance and the Soul, which some consider to be the fullest and most characteristic expression of his genius.

The Collected Works of Paul Val茅ry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.
