FunkLooking forward to reading.0 of 4 people found the following review helpful. didnt really use itBy Jane Kangvery old. i wasnt expecting a book with yellow pages; and in the entire class i had the oldest edition. but that did not mean anything; because everything except the yellowishness was same.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great plays; awful translationsBy Thomas CaronThese translators may be fluent in French; but they are clearly not conversant with Jean Cocteau; the man; the artist; and his personal mythology. Autobiographical and poetic touchstones are heavily alluded to throughout these plays; but the translators mostly miss their significance in clumsy renderings that betray their ignorance of the things that were most important to the playwright . "Bacchus;" in particular; a magnificent play; Cocteaus final testament for the stage; suffers egregiously in this regard.
