Book Description
In this classic study Cocteau vividly describes his extraordinary experiences while taking opium, the drug to which he owed his 'perfect hours' but which, inevitably, exacted its price. It also contains reminiscences of some of Cocteau's closet friends, including Nijinsky and Marcel Proust, and provides revealing insights into the creation of such masterpieces as Orphee and Les Enfants terribles.
Jean Cocteau
He was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the most prominent designers of the surrealist, pioneering and Dadaist movements. And one of the most influential figures in the art of the early twentieth century as a whole. The National Observatory suggested that "from the artistic generation whose boldness gave birth to twentieth-century art, Cocteau came close to being a Renaissance man."
