About The Author | Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) – poet, novelist, dramatist, artist, musician, choreographer, film-maker, and actor – was one of the most talented Frenchmen of the twentieth century and a leading figure in the Surrealist movement. In addition to his popular novel Les Enfants terribles (1929), he is best remembered in the English-speaking world for the film of Orph-e (1950) and perhaps his play La Machine infernale (1934). |
The lasting feeling that his work leaves is one of happiness; not of course in the sense that it excludes suffering, but because, in it, nothing is rejected, resented or regretted |
|
Other text | Cocteau's tale of young beauties whose isolation leads them towards premature decay…a genuine tragedy |
