ISBN: 9780156713603 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jean Cocteau delighted in shocking the world.

He assumed Oscar Wilde's role as "world's most dazzling talker" and Thomas DeQuincey's as "world's most conspicuous opium addict"; he drew depictions of his bouts in the all-male brothels of Toulon; he created the actor Jean Marais and...

A star's influence touches on every aspect of ordinary life, dictating taste in fashion, lifestyle, and desire.
