Synopsis "A Season in Hell: Large Print Edition (in English)"

ARTHUR RIMBAUD: A SEASON IN HELLEdited and translated by Andrew JaryLarge Print EditionA new translation of Arthur Rimbaud's extraordinary poetic statement, written in 1873. The sensual, violent and anguished emotion in Rimbaud's visionary 'alchemy of the word' remains startling, and continues to inspire poets. Printed with the French text facing the translation. With a full colour laminate cover. 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.Introduction, bibliography and notes. Includes 3 pages of new illustrations. Large Print Edition - in 18-point type. www.crmoon.com

Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (Charleville, 1854 - Marsella, 1891) era ya considerado un genio con apenas veinte años gracias a unos poemas y una prosa lírica que bebieron de su estilo de vida, feroz y excesivo. Su poesía transgresiva y temáticas surreales influyeron en la literatura y artes modernas, como el decadentismo y la generación beat. Rimbaud fue uno de los máximos representantes del simbolismo, tendencia dominante en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX que suele señalarse como el inicio de la lírica contemporánea.
