«Les Enfants terribles» is the novel by Jean Cocteau, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (123 pages, in French).
In the novel, siblings Elisabeth and Paul live secluded in an obsessive intimacy marked by a strange game within their room. The arrival of Gérard and Agathe breaks that balance and triggers a dynamic of love, jealousy, and destruction; it is also a story about isolation and the loss of innocence.
Work originally published in 1929. Number 399 in the Le Livre de Poche collection.
For readers of classic French fiction and twentieth-century European literature.
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".
