Journal d'une désintoxication
À la fin de l'année 1928, Jean Cocteau rentre à la clinique de Saint-Cloud, pour subir une cure de désintoxication. De ces années en cure naîtra Les Enfants terribles, œuvre majeure de l'auteur. Il y tient aussi un journal, dans lequel il écrit et dessine. Ce journal sera publié en 1930.
