商品描述

Cocteau had an ambition many a poet has: to become immortal. But he, perhaps more than most, addressed this ambition directly in a great many of his plays, poems, and films. This book puts the work of this elusive and compelling poet under the microscope, examining how he channeled the concerns and anxieties of his age (and beyond) into his creations. Putting aside anecdotes of his life and other biographical minutiae, it turns to the creative achievements of the polymath - some well-known, some less so - to examine how he wrestles with the profound questions that concern human nature and enters into a conversation with his creative forebears on matters relating to love, imagination, suffering, and consolation.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

科克托擁有許多詩人所共有的抱負:追求不朽。但他,或許比大多數人更直接地在許多戲劇、詩歌和電影中探討這一抱負。本書將這位難以捉摸且引人入勝的詩人的作品放在顯微鏡下,檢視他如何將其時代(及其後)所關心和焦慮的議題融入創作中。撇開他的生活轶事和其他傳記細節,書中轉向這位多才多藝者的創作成就——有些為人所知,有些則不然——探討他如何與關於人性的重要問題搏鬥,並與他的創作前輩在愛、想像、痛苦和安慰等議題上展開對話。
