Librarian's note: This is an ACE of ISBN 2070319555. Ici, point de jolis poèmes ciselés, de fleurettes ni de petits oiseaux. Pas de rimes savantes ni d’audaces de versification. La Saison, ce n’est pas ce genre de poésie. C’est une plongée au cœur d’une âme effrénée qui traverse une crise morale et intellectuelle aux allures de cataclysme. Le texte est dense, épais et lumineux comme du magma en fusion, charriant un torrent de souvenirs, d’images et de symboles à la fois cryptés et transparents. Il s’écoule à une vitesse vertigineuse – c’est Rimbaud ! – et laisse le lecteur tout abasourdi de ce qu’il vient de vivre, et avide de replonger dans cette fournaise. Ou bien, s’il se prend à feuilleter cette édition üLtim, de redécouvrir sous un jour nouveau le reste de l’œuvre rimbaldienne, depuis les premières Poésies jusqu’aux Illuminations.
Author
Hallucinatory work of French poet Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud strongly influenced the surrealists. With known transgressive themes, he influenced modern literature and arts, prefiguring. He started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian war. During his late adolescence and early adulthood, he produced the bulk of his literary output. After assembling his last major work, Illuminations , Rimbaud completely stopped writing literature at age 20 years in 1874. A hectic, violent romantic relationship, which lasted nearly two years at times, with fellow poet Paul Verlaine engaged Rimbaud, a libertine, restless soul. After his retirement as a writer, he traveled extensively on three continents as a merchant and explorer until his death from cancer. As a poet, Rimbaud is well known for his contributions to symbolism and, among other works, for A Season in Hell , a precursor to modernist literature.
