The Lost Steps collection was founded by me, within Phénix éditions, with the aim of welcoming the work of the surrealism seminar, which I led at the Sorbonne Nouvelle until December 2012. Collective work (proceedings of the seminar itself) or individual work (new regime doctoral theses), the material would not be lacking.

By signing the contract with the publisher, who was actually just a mission officer from the Post Office, I thought I was doing useful and future work, because, for me, the post office is a regalian service that the State must ensure in all circumstances.
Alas, the Post Office separated from its appendage without warning anyone, without even ensuring the sustainability of the published books.
Moral of the story, the four titles in the collection are in escheat. Thinking they were doing well, others took up the torch within the framework of the literary heritage preservation system, still without consulting either the authors or the collection director. Not without adding an element that has its price: they sell these works for around 40 Euros per copy.

Consequently, I take back all my rights and offer the product of collective intellectual work to all those who want to make it their honey.
Here then, downloadable free of charge, the four published volumes, reborn from their ashes.
