analysis of Prvert's paroles essays Q: Discuss Prverts ideas of childhood and youth with reference to poems from Paroles. Jacques Prvert was born on the 4th February 1900 in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Famous poet, scriptwriter and close friend of artists Picasso and Motand; he was a prominent figure of the post war cultural scene in Paris. Known for the phenomenal success of his collection of poems Paroles and his key role in the French surrealist movement; Prverts early childhood days were far from the successful figure he later became. Prverts younger childhood days were a very happy time for him. He had fond memories of this time and this was often reflected in his work. However, when Prvert was 7 years old (in 1906) his father, Andr lost his job; and the idyllic, carefree childhood young Jacques had once known, disappeared all at once. The family moved to a hotel in the poorest quarters of Paris. Prverts world was turned upside down, into that of a working class Paris and its Parisian street urchins.
