Rate this book
«Ужасные дети» – одно из ключевых и наиболее сложных произведений Кокто, о которых по сей день спорят литературоведы. Многослойная и многоуровневая история юных брата и сестры, отвергнувших «внешний» мир и создавших для себя странный, жестокий и прекрасный «мир Детской», существующий по собственным законам и ритуалам. Герои романа – Поль и Элизабет – с детства живут по правилам собственной игры, от которой ничто не может их отвлечь. И взрослея, они продолжают жить в своем мире, который обречен на столкновение с миром реальным…

Также в сборник входит знаменитая пьеса «Адская машина».

About the author

Jean Cocteau

577 books900 followers
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau (5 July 1889 – 11 October 1963) was a French poet, novelist, dramatist, designer, boxing manager, playwright and filmmaker. Along with other Surrealists of his generation (Jean Anouilh and René Char for example) Cocteau grappled with the "algebra" of verbal codes old and new, mise en scène language and technologies of modernism to create a paradox: a classical avant-garde. His circle of associates, friends and lovers included Jean Marais, Henri Bernstein, Colette, Édith Piaf, whom he cast in one of his one act plays entitled Le Bel Indifferent in 1940, and Raymond Radiguet.

His work was played out in the theatrical world of the Grands Theatres, the Boulevards and beyond during the Parisian epoque he both lived through and helped define and create. His versatile, unconventional approach and enormous output brought him international acclaim.
