Surreal: The Extraordinary Life of Gala Dali by Michele Gerber Klein Groundswell Speaker 2024 aged just 23Surreal tells the riveting story of Gala Dal (1894 1982) who broke away from the her cultured but penurious background in pre Revolutionary Russia to live in Paris with both France's most famous poet, Paul luard, and artist Max Ernst. By the time she met the budding artist Salvador Dali in 1929, Gala was known as the Mother of Surrealism. She rapidly became his mentor and protector, marrying him in 1934 and subsequently engineering their vast fortune.
