Preface to the Second Edition
In the 19 years which passed since the first edition was published, several
important developments have taken place in the theory of surfaces. The most
sensational one concerns the differentiable structure of surfaces. Twenty years
ago very little was known about differentiable structures on 4-manifolds, but
in the meantime Donaldson on the one hand and Seiberg and Witten on
the other hand, have found, inspired by gauge theory, totally new invariants.
Strikingly, together with the theory explained in this book these invariants
yield a wealth of new results about the differentiable structure of algebraic
surfaces.
Other developments include the systematic use of nef-divisors (in ac
cordance with the progress made in the classification of higher dimensional
algebraic varieties), a better understanding of Kahler structures on surfaces,
and Reider's new approach to adjoint mappings.
All these developments have been incorporated in the present edition,
though the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theory only by way of examples.
Of course we use the opportunity to correct some minor mistakes, which we
ether have discovered ourselves or which were communicated to us by careful
readers to whom we are much obliged.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of various bodies which helped
us prepare this new edition; in particular the following grants and institu
tions: EAGER (European Algebraic Geometry Research Network) and the
DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) as well as the universities of Essen,
Grenoble, Hannover and Leiden for the hospitality we were offered at various
occasions. Our thanks go to those who have read and commented on parts
of the manuscript: R. Eckert, C. Erdenberger, M. Friedland, A. Gathmann,
M. Lonne, K. Ludwig, John D. McCarthy, M. Schutt, J. Spandaw and H.
Verrill. We are in particular grateful to J.-P. Demailly, L. Bonavero and A.
Teleman for all the advice they offered which helped us to understand some
of the hard analysis needed in various new parts of the book.
Special thanks also to Mme. A. Guttin-Lombard, who efficiently prepared
a major part of the book, and to Mrs. S. Guttner for the careful typing of
several chapters.

Preface to the First Edition
Par une belle matinee du mois de mai,
une eIegante amazone parcourait, sur
une superbe jument alezane, les allees
fleuries de Bois de Boulogne.
(A. Camus, La Peste)
Early versions of parts of this work date back to the mid-sixties, when the
third author started to write a book on surfaces. But for several reasons, in
particular the appearance of SafareviC's book, he postponed the projects. It
was revived about ten years later, when all three authors were in Leiden. It
is impossible to cover in one book the vast and rapidly developing theory
of surfaces. Choices have to be made, with respect to content as well as
to presentation. We have chosen for a complex-analytic point of view; this
distinguishes our text from most of the existing treatments. Relations with
the case of characteristic p are not discussed.
We hope to have succeeded in writing a readable book; a book that can
be used by non-specialists. The specialist will find very little that is new to
him anyhow.
As to acknowledgements, the authors certainly have to thank the Konink
lijke Shellprijs, awarded to the third author in 1964. The numerous contacts
with colleagues from other countries made possible by that award have had
a very favourable influence on this book. Our thanks are furthermore due
to G. Angermiiller, G. Barthel, G. Fischer, G. van der Geer, N. Hitchin, D.
Husemoller, M. Reid, T. A. Springer, D. Zagier and S. Zucker. Each of them
has read some part of the manuscript and has made valuable suggestions.
Editor and printer have done an excellent job, and the Springer-Verlag
has been very generous in fulfilling all of our last-minute wishes.
We are also indebted to Mrs. W. M. Van de Ven who not only typed the
better part of the book, but also helped in preparing it for the printer, and
to Mrs. H. Dohrman who carefully typed many pages. Finally the authors
want to thank their wives for all their patience and endurance.
