AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A superb numbered edition in its full card-binding, produced from an original drawing by the author, of this edition that brings together two emblematic collections by Jacques Prévert and embodies the postwar poetic and protest voice, blending everyday lyricism, corrosive humor, and social commitment.
In Paroles, originally published in 1946 but here reissued, Prévert unfolds poetry that is accessible and popular, nourished by wordplay, surrealist collages, and incisive portraits of everyday life, which charm with their apparent simplicity and their critical depth -
Spectacle, for its part, extends this vein by accentuating the theatrical and visual dimension of its writing, where the poems become as many living scenes, denouncing injustices, celebrating love and freedom, and giving voice to the anonymous -
