Jacques Prévert – the Poet of Everyday Life 
A Portrait Based on Selected Poems

Jacques Prévert is a poetic icon in France today, his poems are part of the school curriculum. Given the poet’s deliberate distance from high culture and notably from traditional school education, this is not devoid of irony. The present e Book sketches a portrait of the poet in five chapters. In each chapter, English adaptations of selected works by Prévert serve as an introduction to individual aspects of his work.
