Clear and powerful in expression, Arthur Rimbaud, one of the most significant and still widely read poets of France, ushered in lyrical modernity with free verse and a comprehensive revolt against tradition. Among the famous symbolist triumvirate of Mallarmé, Verlaine, and Rimbaud, he was undoubtedly the most radical— the movement of Surrealism cannot be imagined without him. This bilingual edition offers a translation that stands out in its clarity from previous German traditions of translating Rimbaud. It includes all of Rimbaud's poems, the cycles 'Une saison en enfer' and 'Illuminations', as well as the two "Letters of the Seer" containing Rimbaud's poetic theory. Commentary, an afterword, and a timeline complete the volume.
