Book excerpt: En 1928, cinq ans après la mort de Raymond Radriguet, lors d'une cure de désintoxication dans une clinique, Jean Cocteau, opiomane, écrit et dessine. Pour lui, il s'agit de la même activité, du même acte de créateur : "Ecrire, pour moi, c'est dessiner, nouer les lignes de telle sorte qu'elles se fassent écriture, ou des dénouer de telle sort que l'écriture devienne dessin." Ainsi, tout au long des jours, des instants, un livre naît sous nos yeux, fait de notations, de jeux avec les mots, de jugements de poète. Aux commentaires sur la littérature et les écrivains (Proust, Raymond Roussel) viennent s'ajouter des remarques sur le cinéma (Buster Keatin, Chaplin, Eisenstein, Buñuel), sur la poésie, sur la création, sur l'art. En thème lancinant, qui revient au détour de chaque page, c'est celui de l'opium. "Tout ce qu'on fait dans la vie, même l'amour, on le fait dans le train express qui roule vers la mort. Fumer l'opium, c'est quitter le train en marche ; c'est s'occuper d'autre chose que de la vie, de la mort." Ainsi Jean Cocteau retrouve-t-il la grande tradition des poètes visionnaires, de Quincey, Baudelaire, et surtout Rimbaud.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1523, en Allemagne, on couronne un paysan, Hans, qui sera, sous le nom de Bacchus, roi pendant sept jours. Il se lance dans de grandes réformes, se réclame d'un Christ révolutionnaire, ami du peuple, dont il soulève pourtant la colère. Il finit mal. En 1951, Cocteau, au sommet de sa gloire, et qui s'est imprégné des livres sur la Réforme et Luther, propose, par la bouche de son héros, une explication de l'univers, où la vérité apparaît comme la valeur suprême. À la scène, l'écrivain a toujours représenté un éternel suspect (lui-même ?), selon des procédés dramatiques éprouvés, jusqu'au meurtre final. Ici, l'actualité compte autant que l'Histoire, par les attaques contre l'Église catholique, les revendications ouvrières, le rejet radical de l'ordre établi, l'évocation du désarroi de la jeunesse. Bacchus est, avec La Machine infernale, la pièce la plus importante de celui qui peindra, à la chapelle de Milly, le Christ en croix et le Christ ressuscité.

Download or read book Diary of an Unknown written by Jean Cocteau and published by Paragon House Publishers. This book was released on 1988 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new translation brings the diary of Jean Cocteau to America for the first time. Diary of an Unknown was started in 1951, at about the time Cocteau begin his famous journals. This more personal document is at once intensely intimate and deeply philosophical. In these essays - which often recall the essays of Montaigne with their strictness of form, theme, and syntax - Cocteau reveals himself as never before. Like the Surrealists, Cocteau thrived upon, and solicited, public attention. But behind the flamboyance and the mystique, behind the public persona, there was the private self. Here we glimpse the private Jean Cocteau, playing with ideas and musing on all manner of subjects: nature ("I am more fascinated by the underside than by the topside"); New York ("a city that abides neither contempt nor pity"); poetry ("a religion without hope"); and beauty ("The beautiful is always the result of an accident"). Cocteau ruminates on psychoanalysis, the Nuremberg trials, the Trinity, freedom and the death penalty. He also returns to familiar Coctelian themes - angels, invisibility, friendship, memory, and the birth of ideas. He writes of Proust, Picasso, Stravinsky and Sartre, remembering conversations or recording his own observations on their work with extraordinary freshness of insight. In its breadth, its beauty, and its intimacy, DIary of an Unknown deepens our understanding of one of the most original artists of the century. -- from dust jacket.
