DOUBLEDAY

In the years immediately following World War II, Jacques Prévert spoke directly to and for the French who had come of age during the German Occupation. First published in 1946 by Les Editions de Minuit, a press with its origins in the Underground, Paroles met with enormous success, and there were several hundred thousand copies in print by the time these first translations in English were published by City Lights in 1958.Today Prévert speaks out in a voice still attuned to our times, for the human condition (which is always his focus) has not changed. In fact, man's inhumanity to man would seem to have intensified, making these poems ever more touching, ever more prescient.

Commonwealth Books, Black Widow

Jacques PrÃ©vert's poems have impressed generations of both young and old readers. This new edition has been revised and expanded to include newly translated poems. PrÃ©vert is the quintessential French romantic without being cloying or melodramatic. He wrote the scenario of "Les Enfants du Paradis" of Marcel CarnÃ© with actors Jean-Louis Barrault and Arletty thought by many one of the best classic romantic cinema. He uses a vast array of literary allusions, memories of the Resistance and dazzling puns but the writing remains simple, direct and unpretentious. PrÃ©vert's lyricism, wit and satire are to be savored. His work has inspired such singers as Yves Montand. Many of his poems suggest melody and have become the lyrics of songs.

Hearing Eye

Éditer Prévert dans la Pléiade, c'est installer son uvre dans la vérité en permettant à celle-ci de laisser entrevoir combien elle est faite d'une culture qui se cache. Car il n'est pas vrai que Prévert se contentait de griffonner en toute hâte sur les tables des bistrots ; les versions successives que cette édition procure le prouveront à l'évidence. Il n'est pas vrai non plus que Prévert dédaignait la littérature : cette édition s'efforce d'élucider les réminiscences et de repérer minutieusement les nombreuses références à des écrivains comme Hugo, Zola, Blake, Melville, Proust, et à beaucoup d'autres. On verra aussi combien les poèmes de Prévert sont structurés et quelle peine l'auteur se donnait pour cacher sous le sens apparent l'autre sens, énigmatique qui, la plupart du temps - dans la chute -, ouvre des failles.Si se servir de mots simples était nécessaire au poète pour être compris de tous, on mesurera à travers cette édition combien subtilement Prévert détourne le lieu commun, qu'il utilise, pour faire rendre gorge à la vérité première - et cruelle - de celui-ci. Aussi - plus que beaucoup d'autres - il a su déranger l'ordre établi en dérangeant l'ordre des mots.
