      Prévert non è antico, non è sentimentale, non è decadente. Prévert è vivissimo come un adolescente d'oggi. Nonostante Prévert sembri a tratti classico, isuoi versi prefigurano la liberazione sessuale delle nuove generazioni, quellail cui amore vince l'invidia dei vecchi, l'indignazione dei benpensanti eperfino la miseria e la guerra. Versi d'amore allegri, dissacranti, ironici,anarchici, mai retorici, ricchi anche d'umor nero. Ma non è tutta spavalderia. Sul fondo si annida la malinconia di ogni amore, ricchezza splendida mafragile; da custodire teneramente.

      Funny, irreverent and sometimes sad, here is the story of the early life of one of the world's best-loved authors. From the evocation of an enchanted boyhood spent in Wales and Norway to his unhappy experiences at an English public school, these sparkling memoirs are filled with wit, high spirits and more than a touch of the macabre. "A shimmering fabric of his yesterdays, the magic and the hurt" --Observer. "Brilliantly coloured, sometimes grotesque and sometimes magical" --Sunday Times. "As frightening and funny as his fiction" --The New York Times Book Review. "Superbly written ... a glimpse of a brilliant eccentric" --New Statesman.
