Synopsis "arthur rimbaud,complete works"

"The hallucinatory prose-poems of Arthur Rimbaud rank among the glories of 19th-century French literature." -- New York TimesOne of the world's most influential poets, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, almost all of which he produced before the age of twenty. Paul Schmidt's acclaimed collection brings together his complete poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell." Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons"--Childhood, the Open Road, War, the Tormented Heart, the Visionary, the Damned Soul, a Few Belated Cowardices, and the Man with the Wind at His Heels--that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

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.
