Informazioni sull'autore

ARTHUR RIMBAUD (1854-91) wrote most of his work between the ages of 16 & 19, after which he renounced poetry, to pursue a career as a soldier, coffee trader and gun runner. ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE (1946-89) gained renown during the 1980s for his controversial nudes but is also highly regarded for his portraits and still lifes.

Dalla quarta di copertina

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.
