Un adelanto del fin del mundo**, de la colección «Poesía portátil», es una colección de embates apasionados de Arthur Rimbaud, un rebelde que supo hurgar en el infierno para revolucionar la poesía.** Rimbaud rompió las costuras de la poesía moderna cuando todavía no había cumplido veinte años. A tan pronta edad deflagró también los límites de la bohemia. Rebelde ejemplar, entendía la figura del poeta como una suerte de vidente de una vida nueva, un icono romántico movido por una fiebre que estrellaba en decenas de hojas sueltas. Reunimos ahora algunos de sus principales poemas, resultado de sus años en París, de la truculenta pasión que le unió a Paul Verlaine, del malvivir, el emborracharse, del no ser feliz pero ser siempre salvaje.
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.
