Political views

The Group «October» actively communicated with the party «left». Special relations established between the group and Louis Aragon, who at the time headed the cultural Department of the CPSU Central Committee. I must say that Aragon wrote poems in French. Despite the fact that all members of the group were in a fiduciary relationship with Louis, Jacques preferred to keep a certain distance. Invitations to join the Communist party Prevert always said that “not want to be put in a jail cell”. The poet was not interested in politics. He has always opposed the rule by a religion. Jacques also spoke against violence, while remaining an ardent hater of the bourgeois class. Dali said about prévert: “He fights the evil like it's a bomb. In fact it is just firecrackers”.

The Trickery

Not to get in the French army for compulsory military service, Jacques was pretending to be crazy. However, even in this Prevert used his innate artistry, always using a pipe or a cigarette.

leaves

Jacques was pretending to be a womanizer who suffer stellar disease. In fact, Prevert never suffered from lack of female attention. Among his mistresses can be called famous Actresses, TV stars and movies of the time. This was due to the fact that the poet was a handsome man who is always impeccably looked trendy and suits, lovely and trendy hairstyle. Thus the poet was an amazing talent: every time you breakup with another woman he gets to stay with her friends for many years.

Jacques Prevert poems

I must say that you can meet this name of this music, as “Dead leaves". It's the same piece that “leaves”, only here everything depends on the translation and purport of verse.

Poetic direction

As a poet, Jacques published a collection of “Words” in 1946. For the name of her collection, the poet was severely criticized. Many of his comrades in the field believed that words always eventually be erased and forgotten. The works, which poets and writers left behind, must remain eternal.

Today's edition, consisting of 250 pages, it is known to the whole world. The collection includes all those poems which Prevert wrote exclusively for himself. Three million copies (this edition was printed collection) was sold instantly. About such fame and popularity could possibly dream of every poet and writer.

Jacques Prevert biography

In his works the poet has always been able to show the usual and customary from a completely different side. The writer touched on important human problems. He worried about future generations for their development. All this translates into his lyrics, which were a huge success.

The Most important is that the modern literary public is familiar with the work of prévert.

Criticism of the poet

Many of those who today study the culture of the last century, wondering how Jacques is so quickly managed to achieve such a sudden rise and fame in the whole of France? In addition, it is important to say that today the poet is a very famous person who is not forgotten. Almost every educated person will be able to name at least one work of prévert.

I Want to say that in all the Newspapers of the last century, his poetry was described in different ways: many have strongly criticized his work, many, on the contrary, was praised. The articles, which were devoted to the work of prévert, was a huge amount. Even many other literary figures have reacted differently to the poetry of Jacques. For example, the same Sartre prévert considered a master of his craft, at the same time Camus spoke about the poet, like the lyrical clown.

 Jacques Prevert songwriter

However, it is important to note that Jacques became a reformer in the field of free verse. His poems often did not rhyme, but remained musical. In the works I have always felt a special rhythm. In his poems also lacks any punctuation that already says that Jacques allowed the readers to pause in the places where they desire. Talked about this, and the writer, screenwriter, songwriter and part-time poet.

Reviews modern readers

As is typical of the reader, each in different ways relates to the work of prévert. Many are in love with the lyrical works of Jacques, and others just don't understand why the poet so much talk and talk today.

Do Not forget that Jacques is a representative of the free poetry. What does it mean? Free verse-is poetry that has no rhyme. Most likely, the negative reviews are due to this fact. In the understanding of people very firmly, entrenched the perception of the poems as something that represents a rhyming text. In the work of prévert it is impossible to find.

Moreover, the special rhythm, which appears when the reading is questionable, because the works lack any punctuation. A glance at any poem, you may notice that neither in the lines nor in between, no commas. As he said himself the author, he allowed the reader to choose exactly the tone of what he wants.

It is a sensation that causes poetry, very much appreciated today. Love lyrics, which came from the hands of Jacques, able to charm every reader.
