Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

"Valerie and Her Week of Wonders" is a 1935 novel by Czech surrealist Vít Zslav Nezval, later adapted into a 1970 film. The work delves into gothic themes reminiscent of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and M. G. Lewis' "The Monk," while challenging the surrealist rejection of Romanticism.
