This collection includes works from different years, allowing the reader to get an idea of the different facets of the talent of the great French writer.
A small novel "Double Twine" - a tragicomic story of passionate love of a romantic young man to pragmatic beauty-soderzhdanka not the first youth. One of the most French both in style and in the plot of Cocteau's works, constantly balancing on the fine line between seriousness and irony, lyricism and very caustic humor.
Essay "Opium" - confession of a man coming out of a long drug addiction, caused by agonizing depression from the loss of a loved one. Confession ruthless and brutally frank.
And finally, the play "Orpheus" is one of Cocteau's "main", programmatic works, in which an ancient Greek myth is turned into a timeless and eternally relevant story about a creative man's unhealed inner conflict with himself and the world - a conflict that brutally torments both himself and his loved ones, but at the same time becomes a source of inspiration for him.
