This important new translation brings the diary of Jean Cocteau to America for the first time. Diary of an Unknown was started in 1951, at about the time Cocteau begin his famous journals. This more personal document is at once intensely intimate and deeply philosophical. In these essays - which often recall the essays of Montaigne with their strictness of form, theme, and syntax - Cocteau reveals himself as never before. Like the Surrealists, Cocteau thrived upon, and solicited, public attention. But behind the flamboyance and the mystique, behind the public persona, there was the private self. Here we glimpse the private Jean Cocteau, playing with ideas and musing on all manner of subjects: nature ("I am more fascinated by the underside than by the topside"); New York ("a city that abides neither contempt nor pity"); poetry ("a religion without hope"); and beauty ("The beautiful is always the result of an accident"). Cocteau ruminates on psychoanalysis, the Nuremberg trials, the Trinity, freedom and the death penalty. He also returns to familiar Coctelian themes - angels, invisibility, friendship, memory, and the birth of ideas. He writes of Proust, Picasso, Stravinsky and Sartre, remembering conversations or recording his own observations on their work with extraordinary freshness of insight. In its breadth, its beauty, and its intimacy, DIary of an Unknown deepens our understanding of one of the most original artists of the century. -- from dust jacket.

One winter's morning, illustrator Barroux was walking down a street in Paris when he made an incredible discovery: the diary of a soldier from the First World War. Barroux rescued the diary from the rubbish and subsequently illustrated the soldier's words. We have no idea who our soldier is or what became of him. We just have his own words about the first two months of the war, and Barroux's accompanying images.

In July 1917, a young man in the 12th East Surrey Regiment kept a journal of his experiences at the front. This poignant and moving account is narrated with a keen sense of observation, bringing to life the sights, sounds, smells, and horrors of war.The anonymous author candidly describes his daily life: dodging shells to fetch meals from the rations cart; his regiment lost on a march, straying perilously near enemy lines; the selfishness of his commanding officer; the daily distribution of rum; the soar of shells ('whiz bangs') above his head, communicating by sign with a captured German soldier living in his trench; catching sleep in snatches 10 or fifteen minutes; and always, the endless mud.He begins understatedly: 'The first night passed uneventfully, except that we were shelled,' describing his journey to the front: 'It was nothing unusual to come across a dead horse sometimes two with great holes in their sides caused by shells, and now and then a dead comrade would be lying waiting for burial.'Amid the horrors of war, there is humour, for example, in his pithy description of breakfast: 'Bread and jam and mud but no drink,' or in the account of the menacing shapes which advance slowly one foggy evening over a period of several hours. 'In the morning we discovered that a good many of these Germans were nothing more than a few short willow shrubs waving about in the breeze. We had a good laugh.'Gradually, he describes how one by one, his fellow soldiers in his beloved 12th East Surreys fall until he is left with just three of his mates. Trapped in a hole in the ground, he sees an enemy soldier lob a grenade at him and turns face down in the mud to receive the blow: 'This I thought is the end, so far as I am concerned.' Landing on his back, the grenade failed to explode. The narrative ends abruptly, as he is taken prisoner by the Enemy.This brief, highly personal and compelling account of one soldier's experience, with a short introduction, will appeal to anyone with an interest in the human condition.

Excerpt from War Birds: Diary of an Unknown Aviator Onward, conscript soldiers, marching as to war, You would not be conscripts, had you gone before. This is a beautiful place. I expect my opinion is largely due to my frame of mind, but it really is pretty. Low jagged hills form the horizon and on the south side of the river as we came up, is solid rock with a little dirt over it in spots but the rock sticking thru everywhere like bones thru a poor horse. We went thru two submarine nets stretched across the mouth of the harbor. I wish I had words to describe the feeling I had when all the soldiers in the harbor came over to tell us howdy. One New Zealander, I think he was a non-com, stood up in the back of the boat and said, You fellows don't look very happy. And I guess our boys don't at that - the doughboys, I mean. We've got over two thousand of them on board of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the regular army. Anyway, New Zealand beat us cheering with their full throated, Hip Hurrah Hip Hurrah Hip Hurrah! But they said they were five weeks out and knew each other pretty well, while our boys aren't acquainted yet.
