Presents the French and English texts of Rimbaud's major prose poem about the passion of suffering
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
This book brings together two of the most notorious artistic rebels of their respective eras, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) and Robert Mapplethorpe. Rimbaud wrote most of his work as a teenager, then renounced poetry to pursue an adventurous but unprofitable career as a soldier, coffee trader, and gun runner. The controversial and highly regarded photographer Robert Mapplethorpe earned acclaim during the late 1980s for his nudes, portraits, and still lifes. Books with Bulfinch are: Robert Mapplethorpe (1988), Some Women (1989) and Flowers (1990). Paul Schmidt has translated the complete works of Rimbaud as well as selected works of Chekhov, Pushkin and other Russian authors.
Written by Arthur Rimbaud at age eighteen in the wake of his tempestuous affair with fellow poet Paul Verlaine, A SEASON IN HELL has been a touchstone for anguished poets, artists and lovers for more than a century. Imbued with a hallucinatory intensity, this confessional prose poem is an account of a hellish journey beyond the bounds of society - and the attempt to find a way back.
Based on an edition first published in 1986, this stunning volume presents Rimbaud's poem in both the original French and an English translation - and opens each of the poems eight sections with a dazzling photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe that brilliantly complements the poems shifting moods. These images by one of the most notorious contemporary photographers underline the striking modernity of Rimbaud's great work - and makes this a perfect gift for friends, lovers and fans of either artist.
