Maurice Toesca a senior official at the Prefecture of Police as well as a prolific novelist biographer and literary critic had met Genet in 1944 on the request of Cocteau to secure his release: Sir Even had Monsieur Jean Cocteau not told me I would have understood the part you played in my release for you are poetrys representative at the Prefecture and my simple thanks would seem poor recompense for the marvellous gift you have given me. I am deeply sorry not to be able to offer you of all people a poem; but at least my heart is full of warm feeling toward you. Do not laugh Monsieur Toesca if you hear me speak of friendship it is still the finest thing I have to give. Please accept mine. Need I tell you again how desperate I was sunk in a darkness from which I no longer hoped to emerge and truly darkness it was for I had contemplated staking everything on an escape attempt whose most likely outcome was death the guards were terribly well armed! I tell you this nonetheless so that you may know my joy when the inspector came to announce my release. Monsieur Dubois was splendid; I should be glad if he could learn from you that I hold him in the deepest gratitude. My happiness is such that I could embrace everyone who helped bring this about. Monsieur Toesca it is a very thankful old thug who dares to shake your hand. translation our own Querelle de Brest was published clandestinely by Paul Morihien Jean Cocteaus secretary. Cocteau is responsible for the masterly and sensuous and unsigned illustrations. A portion of the five hundred and twenty-four copies printed were seized by the police the following year during a raid on the bookshop run by Morihien just steps from Cocteaus apartment at the Palais-Royal. After Genets wartime tribulations Cocteau came once more to his aid this time to spare him a life sentence: convicted for a third time and facing transportation to a penal colony Genet obtained a Presidential pardon through the intervention of Cocteau and Sartre. Querelle de Brest was adapted for the screen in 1982 by Rainer W. Fassbinder. A superb copy of this masterpiece a true cornerstone of homosexual and queer literary culture where the criminal underworld mingles with almost metaphysical ecstasy. [Paul Morihien]s. n. unknown

192087075Paris: Editions de la Sirène 1920. Fine. Editions de la Sirène Paris 1920 14.50 x 23 cm relié First edition on ordinary paper. Bradel binding with gilt and moiré decorative paper signed Goy & Vilaine smooth spine black morocco title-label top edge gilt fragile covers and spine lined preserved. Signed and inscribed by Jean Cocteau: ""To my dear friend Marcel Herrand. Jean Cocteau. 1920."" In the first article of Carte blanche 1919 Jean Cocteau praises the young actor Marcel Herrand then aged twenty-two: ""The new spirit is stirring all branches of art. Young actors are putting themselves at the service of modern poetry. Marcel Herrand who created 'Les Mamelles de Tirésias' and various masked roles in 'Le Dit des jeux du monde' was the first to surprise us with his rhythm his straight voice and his disdain for effect. Gestures intentions bleats shouts smiles the nuances beneath each syllable the play of timbre all disappear here to make way for a typographic reading. An inky black. Clean-cut words fall off the page one after the other. The actor does not substitute his emotion for that of the poet. He serves him instead of using himself."" During the 1920s Cocteau entrusted several roles to the talented Marcel Herrand: first as a phonograph in ""Les Mariés de la tour Eiffel"" 1921 he won the male lead in 'Roméo et Juliette' 1924 and even played the angel Heurtebise in the first cast of his famous 'Orphée' in 1926. Moving and early inscription by Jean Cocteau in homage to one of his favorite actors. Editions de la Sirène unknown
