Description
Graham Robb's biography of Arthur Rimbaud is a groundbreaking work that moves beyond the poet's often-held image as a perpetual adolescence to reveal the full extent of his transformations. From his early years as a precocious schoolboy, Rimbaud became one of Europe's most shocking and exhilarating poets, known for poems that range from exquisite to obscene. However, this brief period in French literature is only a small part of Rimbaud's story. Robb takes readers on a biographical journey through three continents and multiple identities, shedding new light on the poet's complex and ambiguous life. This stunning work of biographical scholarship and historical imagination presents Rimbaud as an even more fascinating figure than ever before. Through his remarkable biography, Graham Robb offers a nuanced and compelling portrait of one of literature's most enigmatic figures.
