About the book

Jean Cocteau's Les Enfants Terribles centres on the intense, enclosed relationship between siblings Paul and Elisabeth. After Paul is injured, the pair retreat into a private world of games, rituals and emotional dependence, drawing friends into an increasingly unstable household. Cocteau's short novel explores adolescence, obsession, imagination, jealousy and the dangerous power of relationships that resist the ordinary boundaries of social life.
