ARTHUR RIMBAUD: SELECTED POEMS Edited and translated by Andrew Jary Illustrated, with a newly revised text for this edition. With the French text and an English translation. These new versions of searing lyricism will delight lovers of poetry. Andrew Jary has selected the most representative pieces by the whirlwind poet, including ''The Drunken Boat'', ''Memory'', and healthy chunks of A Season in Hell and Illuminations. Jary has produced clear, unfussy translations of Rimbaud''s fiery verse. For a time, when he was a teenager until he was 19, art was crucial for the psychic well-being of the restless Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891). The young would-be rebel Rimbaud escaped from the bland provincial town of Charleville in Northern France to wander the streets of Paris in poverty. After writing his Illuminations and A Season in Hell, some of the most extraordinary poems of all world literature, Rimbaud renounced it all for a hellish and apparently boring life in Aden. ''Mortel, ange ET demon, autant dire Rimbaud, '' as Rimbaud''s lover, Paul Verlaine wrote (''Mortal, angel AND demon, that is to say Rimbaud''.) Arthur Rimbaud is the tornado of world poetry. He out-blasts just about every other poet. For poets, he is more significant than the so-called ''founding fathers'' or influential philosophers of modern times: Marx, Freud, Nietzsche and Einstein. For poets, he is ''everybody''s favourite hippy'', a Communard, a ''precursor of the current movement of subversion of Western notions of self, society, and discourse'', and a savage mystic. Arthur Rimbaud is one of the most authentically rebellious of modern poets. Other poets have written of rebellion and radical action, but Rimbaud is one of the very few who actually carried it out (and didn''t sound like an idiot when he spoke of it). Picture the young poet in his mid-teens, utterly bored by the living deaths of suburban life, aching to run away to Paris. Though he was dragged back a number of times, Rimbaud''s life after his early teens was never again centred in his homeland. True, he returned to his mother, family and homeland, but his true heartland, his landscape of the soul, was elsewhere. Rimbaud was ever a poet of elsewhere, the other place, displacement. He was always another person: ''Je est un autre (I is an other). He rebelled partly for the joy of rebellion. His early poetry is marked by an extraordinary virulence and anger. Illuminations and A Season in Hell, his major works, are also powered by an immense anger - a cosmic anger, a psycho-cultural-spiritual turmoil. Introduction, bibliography and notes. Includes 3 pages of new illustrations. www.crmoon.com

Arthur Rimbaud was an infamous legend in his own time, a young boy-genius who changed the face of modern poetry forevermore with his groundbreaking, horrific and surreal vision of A Season in Hell. His lifestyle, up until his twentieth year, was one of a vagabond poet, a sexual libertine, and a young man whose roaring talent burned out before his twentieth year. Dying tragically at the age of 37, Rimbaud has come to exemplify what it means to be an explorer on the outer edges of artistic experimentation and excess. This small book of his collected poems and essays on his life is meant as a dedication to a man whose shadow looms large over the span of the centuries, and who, as Sartre once said of Jean Genet, was "rotten with genius." A "divine brat," indeed.

"Uma temporada no inferno" é uma obra em prosa poética que narra uma intensa jornada de crise espiritual, sofrimento e autoconhecimento. Escrita após um período conturbado da vida do autor, a obra apresenta um narrador que revisita suas experiências, ilusões e fracassos, questionando valores morais, religiosos e artísticos. Em tom confessional e visionário, o texto alterna revolta, ironia e reflexão, explorando temas como liberdade, desejo, culpa e transformação. Considerada um marco da literatura moderna, a obra destaca-se pela linguagem inovadora e pela ruptura com as formas tradicionais de expressão poética.

Arthur Rimbaud è un mito nero e eterno: passato, presente e futuro del mondo a rovescio. A diciott''anni ha trascorso Una stagione all''inferno, nel baratro del proprio essere, nell''abisso dell''esistenza, dove nessuno mai ha osato tanto. In lui sono la follia e il genio del maledetto, del punk, di tutto ciò che la norma rifiutava ieri, calpesta oggi e disprezza domani; in lui si è riconosciuta una rivoluzionaria come Patti Smith, che qui introduce la Stagione e ne porta alla luce la forza negli anni mai sopita, mostrando quanto l''arte sia sempre stata, e sempre sarà, qualcosa che scuote dalle profondità della terra la pace posticcia della superficie. Edgardo Franzosini traduce ex novo il testo, scrivendo una versione conclusiva che ci invita a cercare Rimbaud non in cielo con gli occhi puntati verso l''alto, ma giù, nel fango, dove scavando con le unghie possiamo rinvenire la gemma ardente della sua poesia.

"Poésies complètes" de Arthur Rimbaud. Arthur Rimbaud, poète français (1854-1891).

Nous en avons de la chance ! En deux lettres écrites à deux jours d’intervalle, Rimbaud nous expose sa théorie poétique dans les "Lettres du Voyant". Quand on pense qu’il y en a qui écrivent des volumes pour théoriser, que dis-je, terroriser, la poésie au lieu de la faire ! En deux coups de plume, Rimbaud nous réapprend tout, sur tout : être moderne, être visionnaire, ne pas mettre des fers aux pieds des nouvelles idées, assez du classicisme, du romantisme, c’est par le dérèglement de tous les sens que l’on retrouve son sens commun, il n’y a d’avenir que dans le départ, soyons voyants.

Les Oeuvres Complètes de Rimbaud est un recueil qui encapsule la diversité et la profondeur de la poésie de l''un des plus grands poètes du XIXe siècle. Le style littéraire de Rimbaud se caractérise par un langage audacieux et une innovation formelle, usant de jeux de mots, de métaphores saisissantes et d''une musicalité omniprésente. Son contexte littéraire est marqué par le mouvement symboliste, mais il s''en affranchit en préfigurant des courants modernes. Les poèmes, allant des mots simples à l''expression complexe de ses visions, révèlent la richesse de son imagination et son rapport fébrile avec le monde, oscillant entre le rêve et la réalité. Arthur Rimbaud, né en 1854, est souvent considéré comme un poète visionnaire et rebelle. Sa vie tumultueuse et sa quête incessante de sensations nouvelles ont façonné ses écrits. Très jeune, il s''éloigne des conventions littéraires et sociales de son époque, cherchant activement à explorer les limites de l''expression poétique. Son impétuosité et son besoin de liberté transparaissent dans ses œuvres, bien que Rimbaud se retire de la scène littéraire à seulement 21 ans, laissant derrière lui un héritage indélébile. Je recommande Les Oeuvres Complètes de Rimbaud à quiconque souhaite plonger dans l''essence même de la poésie moderne. La richesse de ses textes et la force de ses idées en font une lecture indispensable pour comprendre l''évolution de la poésie. Chaque poème offre un nouveau monde à explorer, et la puissance évocatrice de son écriture saura captiver à la fois les amateurs de poésie et les néophytes.
