Rimbaud: The Double Life of a RebelAtlantic, 2009 - 192 páginas Poet and prodigy Arthur Rimbaud led a life that was startlingly short, yet dramatically eventful and accomplished. His long poem 'Un Saison d'Enfer' (1873) and his collection Illuminations (1886) are central to the modern canon. Having sworn off writing at the age of twenty-one, Rimbaud drifted around the world, ultimately dying from an infection contracted while gun-running in Africa. He was thirty-seven. |
