Nadia Etoilee is a radio arrangement of Andrè Breton 's book Nadja, published in 1928. Nadia was a real girl, who came into his life 'comme une ame errante,' and the work follows their relationship through until he mysteriously loses all trace of her; later he found that she had gone into a mental hospital. Andre Breton , who lives in Paris, is the leader of the surrealist movement, and is one of its most eloquent spokesmen.
