Babylon is a landmark of Surrealist literature, an enduring achievement of one of its leading figures, René Crevel.

Crevel explores the private worlds of children and their sexual imaginations. A free-spirited young girl witnesses her father elope with a beautiful English cousin, the chambermaid run off with and then kill the gardener, her grandmother seduce her mother's new fiancé, and her mother finally accept an arranged marriage with the bizarre Mac-Louf, darling of the Society for Protection by Rational Experience.
