Editorial comments: This is a collection of handwritten texts that Munch wrote in Saint-Cloud during a stay in France with the Danish poet Emanuel Goldstein. There are no precise references to the original edition, as it is an assemblage of several manuscript sheets and sketchbooks containing literary drafts. The text is written as an individual statement, with no reference to a group. Nevertheless, it is widely recognized as a manifesto by the critic.
