Summary:
By closely uniting his life and his work, Jean Cocteau delivered to the public as a long diary, opening large windows on his soul tormented by the "difficulty of being". Passionate reader of Nietzsche, he offered him a membership going to the devotion, impregnating his work of the "Dionysian pessimism" dear to the philosopher while coloring it with elements drawn from various religious and esoteric sources. He recapitulated many aspects of this modernity of which he was the witness and the apostle. The three major moments of the conflictual relationship of the poet to the Christian faith appear in this essay in a new light: his ephemeral return to Catholicism in contact with the Maritain, his jousts with Mauriac, and his disturbing re-reading of Pascal at the approach of death.--BnF
