Books by Arthur Rimbaud

Brings together Arthur Rimbaud's poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year", "After the Flood", and "A Season in Hell". This book is divided into eight 'seasons' including - Childhood, The Open Road, War, The Tormented Heart, The Visionary, and The Damned Soul - that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life.

New Directions is pleased to announce the relaunch of the long-celebrated bilingual edition of Rimbaud's A Season In Hell & The Drunken Boat - a personal poem of damnation as well as a plea to be released from "the examination of his own depths."Rimbaud originally distributed A Season In Hell to friends as a self-published booklet, and soon afterward, at the age of nineteen, quit poetry altogether. New Directions's edition was among the first to be published in the U.S., and it quickly became a classic. Rimbaud's famous poem "The Drunken Boat" was subsequently added to the first paperbook printing. Allen Ginsberg proclaimed Arthur Rimbaud as "the first punk" - a visionary mentor to the Beats for both his recklessness and his fiery poetry.This new edition proudly dons the original Alvin Lustig-designed cover, and a introduction by another famous rebel - and now National Book Award-winner - Patti Smith.

Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud est un poète français, né le 20 octobre 1854, mort le 10 novembre 1891. Il écrit ses premiers poèmes à quinze ans et demi et ses derniers à 20 ans. Selon lui, le poète doit être " voyant " il faut " être absolument moderne ", mais renonce subitement à l'écriture malgré la reconnaissance de ses pairs. Ses idées marginales, anti-bourgeoises et libertaires le poussent à choisir alors une vie aventureuse, il devient même négociant, voire explorateur. De cette seconde vie, ses écritures consistent en près de 180 lettres (correspondance familiale et professionnelle) et quelques descriptions géographiques. La densité de son œuvre poétique fait d'Arthur Rimbaud une des figures considérables de la littérature française. Poèmes : Chanson, Eternité, Age d'or, O saisons, Fête de la faim, Adieu, Après le déluge, Enfance, Aube, Vie, Phrases, Ville, Marine, Mouvement, Bateau Ivre.

Rimbaud a vingt ans, et de ses visions il ouvre les portes de l'inconscient. Illuminations est une gravure coloree. On y plonge comme dans un reve, et on en ressort baigne d'une lumiere. Celle d'un voyant, d'un poete qui delivre - mais de quoi? J'ai seul la clef de cette parade sauvage.-

Den moderne poesis enfant terrible, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-91), frembragte de fleste af sine mesterværker, før han blev tyve. ”Illuminationer” blev angiveligt skrevet mellem 1871-78 og blev første gang trykt i tidsskriftet La Vogue i 1886. Disse prosadigte, toogfyrre i alt, med deres overraskende metaforer som for eksempel »den gyldne solnedgangs tungsindige storvask«, bryder med den dengang herskende poetiks regler ved at lade det banale, vulgære og grusomme indgå en forbindelse med det sublime. ”Illuminationer” er et forsøg på at integrere verden som en total vision, det ultimative billede af alt, hvad der er til, eller som kan tænkes at være til, i en alkymistisk proces, hvor poeten også sætter sit eget jeg i spil. Lyrikeren Erik Knudsen har på imponerende vis gendigtet Rimbauds prosadigte ”Illuminationer”. Lars Bonnevie, Weekendavisen, skrev blandt andet følgende om oversættelsen: ”Man mærker tydeligt strømmen passere på en kongenial måde mellem Knudsen og Rimbaud (…) 'Illuminationer' er indgangsporten til den moderne poesi, herunder også til den modernisme, som den tidlige Erik Knudsen selv var inspireret af, og de farvelagte billeder står friske og prægnante i hans gendigtning, som om de var lavet i dag. Svimlende smukt og grænseløst foruroligende.”

This bilingual edition provides all of Rimbaud's poems, with the exception of his Latin verses and some small fragments. It also includes some of his prose pieces, chosen because they offer a commentary on his poetic concerns.

This new translation, with the French text on the facing pages, captures the tone and rhythm of Rimbaud's language as well as the quality of his thought.

A phenomenonally precicious schoolboy, Rimbaud was still a teenager when he became notorious as Europe's most shocking and exhilarating poet. During his brief 5-year reign as the enfant terrible of French literature he produced an extraordinary body of poems that range from the exquisite to the obsene, while simultaneously living a life of dissolute excess with his lover and fellow poet, Verlaine. At the age of 21, he abandonned poetry and travelled across Europe before settling in Africa as an arms trader. This edition sets the two sides of Rimbaud side by side with a sparkling translation of his most exhilarating poetry and a generous selection of the letters from the harsh and colourful period of his life as a colonial trader.
