Dive into the tragic story of Paul and Elisabeth, two siblings who share a private and claustrophobic world, tacitly excluding their parents. Their room is the stage for a peculiar 'Game,' a distorted version of life that controls their external actions. However, the rules of this game imply a dark destiny: the death of two children. This Vintage Classics edition presents a novel that explores imagination, family relationships, and the dark allure of childhood.
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost avant-garde artists of the 20th century and highly influential on the Surrealist and Dadaist movements, among others. The National Observer suggested that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man".
