{"product_id":"a-season-in-hell-and-the-drunken-boat","title":"A Season in Hell and The Drunken Boat","description":"The classic influential poems by Rimbaud, in a bilingual en face edition featuring acclaimed translations by Louise Varése.\nAlthough he stopped writing at the age of nineteen, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) possessed the most revolutionary talent of the past hundred years, and his poetry and prose have increasingly influenced the major writers of our century. To his masterpiece A Season in Hell is here added Rimbaud's longest and possibly greatest single poem The Drunken Boat, with the original French en face.\nThe reputation of A Season in Hell, which is a poetic record of a man's examination of his own depths, has steadily increased over the years. Upon the first publication of Mrs. Varese's translation by New Directions, the Saturday Review wrote: \"One may at last suggest that the translation of A Season in Hell has reached a conclusive point...\" Concerning the twenty-five-stanza The Drunken Boat, Dr. Enid Starkie of Oxford University has written: \"(It is) an anthology of separate lines of astonishing evocative magic which linger in the mind like isolated jewels.\" Rimbaud's life was so extraordinary that it has taken on the quality of a myth. A biographical chronology is included in this book.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811201856\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0811201856.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Arthur Rimbaud|Louise Varese\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass market paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
