«Los niños terribles» is the novel by French writer Jean Cocteau, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback, with 200 pages, in Spanish.
Elisabeth and Paul are two siblings who take refuge in a world of games, away from the outside. Their intense and destructive relationship keeps them in an adolescence they do not want to leave. Cocteau contrasts reality and imagination, pleasure and duty, order and adventure, Eros and Thanatos, and recreates ancient tragedy with a linear and circular structure.
The novel was originally published in 1929. Edition by José Ignacio Velázquez, part of the Letras Universales collection (no. 133), with an introductory study and explanatory notes.
For readers of classic fiction and twentieth-century French narrative interested in the work of Jean Cocteau.
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".
