In A Season in Hell, at the age of eighteen, the French poet Arthur Rimbaud predicted the relaxation of his lifestyle: “My day is performed I am leaving Europe. The sea air will melt away my lungs dropped climes will tan my skin.” Three a long time later on, in 1876, he joined the Royal Army of the Dutch Indies as an infantryman and sailed for Java, where by he immediately deserted and fled into the jungle.

Summary : A la edad de dieciocho años, en Una temporada en el infierno, profetizó el resto de su vida. Dejaba Europa atrás. Escribió del aire de mar que le quemaría los pulmones, de la ráfaga solar que le broncearía el cuerpo entero. Tres años después, en 1876, se incorporó a la Armada Real de las Indias holandesas como infante y partió rumbo a Java. Desertaría muy pronto, en fuga hacia la selva. Es el pasaje más enigmático y misterioso de una vida llena de contradicciones y paradojas. En este libro dedicado al viaje perdido de Rimbaud a Asia, el crítico y novelista Jamie James pesquisa todos los hechos relacionados con el episodio. De este modo, y a partir de conjeturas acerca de lo que el poeta pudo haber hecho, reconstruye y recrea la vida durante el siglo XIX en Java. El libro termina con una inquisición exhaustiva acerca de lo que Oriente significó en la imaginación del poeta, en paralelo con la entretenida, por momentos escandalosa historia del orientalismo francés, siempre entre la pose decorativa y el exabrupto colonialista. Rimbaud en Java es una mezcla altamente concentrada de crítica, biografía y narrativa de viajes, que pone en foco y en perspectiva el encuentro extraordinario entre el gran poeta y un mundo extinguido.

Summary : "What is my nothingness, compared to the stupor that awaits you?" - Arthur Rimbaud Revised and expanded in 2022, this new edition of A Season in Hell and The Illuminations now includes Selected Poems and Selected Letters. Having closely studied and admired the visionary masterpieces of 19th-century French poet Arthur Rimbaud for years, Christopher Bakka has translated them for himself. Born from a desire to deeply engage with the original French texts and to apprehend, as clearly as is possible, the words that Rimbaud wrote, these translations of A Season in Hell and The Illuminations are free from the wildly creative liberties in diction and syntax that make most translations of Rimbaud unreliable. Pure translation, is, of course, impossible, especially where poetry is concerned; devoted readers of Rimbaud, therefore, are encouraged to engage with the music and ambiguity of the poet's original French, presented here en face. In addition to A Season in Hell and The Illuminations, Rimbaud's two major works of prose, this new version features 33 of his best poems, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Stolen Heart," "Festivals of Patience," and "Vowels." It also includes seven letters, among them the famous "Letters of the Seer" addressed to Georges Izambard and Paul Demeny. The book concludes with a letter written to Ernest Delahaye containing what many critics consider to be Rimbaud's last poem: "The Barracks at Night" (also titled "Dream"). The enfant terrible of French poetry notorious for his tumultuous relationship with the older poet Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud sought "to change life." He ended up changing literature.
