Hebdomeros is a 1929 book (referred to by some as a novel) by Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico. Chirico did not produce any other long-form writing. The book is narrated in the third person and loosely concerns the movement of a man, Hebdomeros, westward.[1] Writing in The Kenyon Review, Alan Burns referred to the text as a "surrealist dream novel".[2]
