Blurb reads:
ADAM is the famous international literary review edited by Miron Grindeau since the thirties.
For its 300th jubilee edition, dedicated to the memory of Jean Cocteau, the material is so outstanding that it cries out to be preserved in book form. The need is filled by this volume, which, within its unusual binding, contains the complete text of over 100,000 words.
Among the fascinating contents are:
Two hitherto unpublished stories by Chekhov
A correspondence between Maxim Gorky and HG Wells
Poems by Robert Graves
A fairy tale (as told to Bernard Shaw) by Oscar Wilde
Forty-six unpublished letters of Katherine Mansfield
Also special contributions from WH Auden, Andre Maurois, Arthur Koestler, Picasso, Aragon, Rosamond Lehmann, Simenon and Michel Butor, among many others.
Included in the sixteen illustrations are works by Modigliani, Miro, Chagall and Cocteau.
The cover drawings are by Cocteau, who did them specially for ADAM shortly before his death.
