Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works (Perennial Library)

Arthur Rimbaud

Biographies & Memoirs

Perennial

Arthur Rimbaud is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, most of which he produced before the age of eighteen. This book brings together his poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell," considered by many to be his. 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 translator and editor Paul Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

Wallace Fowlie's prose translations accompany the original French texts in this, the first complete bilingual edition of Rimbaud's work in prose and poetry."This handsome edition, which makes France's most remarkable poet readily available in the U.S., may well be a literary landmark comparable to Baudelaire's introduction of Edgar Allan Poe in France a century earlier."--Anna Balakian, New York Times Book Review

A Season in Hell

History & Criticism

Little,Brown & Company

"What is my nothingness, compared to the stupor that awaits you?" - Arthur Rimbaud 
Revised and expanded in 2022, this new edition of A Season in Hell and The Illuminations now includes Selected Poems and Selected Letters. 
Having closely studied and admired the visionary masterpieces of 19th-century French poet Arthur Rimbaud for years, Christopher Bakka has translated them for himself. Born from a desire to deeply engage with the original French texts and to apprehend, as clearly as is possible, the words that Rimbaud wrote, these translations of A Season in Hell and The Illuminations are free from the wildly creative liberties in diction and syntax that make most translations of Rimbaud unreliable. Pure translation, is, of course, impossible, especially where poetry is concerned; devoted readers of Rimbaud, therefore, are encouraged to engage with the music and ambiguity of the poet's original French, presented here en face. 
In addition to A Season in Hell and The Illuminations, Rimbaud's two major works of prose, this new version features 33 of his best poems, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Stolen Heart," "Festivals of Patience," and "Vowels." 
It also includes seven letters, among them the famous "Letters of the Seer" addressed to Georges Izambard and Paul Demeny. 
The book concludes with a letter written to Ernest Delahaye containing what many critics consider to be Rimbaud's last poem: "The Barracks at Night" (also titled "Dream"). 
The enfant terrible of French poetry notorious for his tumultuous relationship with the older poet Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud sought "to change life." He ended up changing literature.

A Season in Hell and The Illuminations, with Selected Poems and Letters

Christopher Bakka

The poetic genius of Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) blossomed early and burned briefly. Since his death at age thirty-seven, Rimbaud's life and work have influenced generations of readers and writers. Radical in its day, his writing took some of the first and most fundamental steps toward the liberation of poetry from the formal constraints of its history, and now represents one of the most powerful and enduring bodies of poetic expression in human history. In this new translation, Mason draws on a century of Rimbaud scholarship to choreograph a superbly clear presentation of the poet's works. He arranges Rimbaud's writing chronologically, based on the latest manuscript evidence, so readers can experience the poet's rapid evolution from the lyricism of 'Sensation' to the groundbreaking early modernism of 'A Season in Hell'. In fifty pages of previously untranslated material, including award-winning early verses, RIMBAUD COMPLETE reveals facets of the poet previously unknown to UK readers.
