فصلی در جهنم و قایق مست

Although Arthur Rimbaud stopped writing at the age of 19, he possessed the most revolutionary talent of the century. His poetry & prose have increasingly influenced major writers. To his masterpiece A Season in Hell is here added Rimbauds longest & possibly greatest single poem The Drunken Boat, with the original French en face Illuminations, Rimbauds major works are available as bilingual New Directions Paperbooks. The reputation of A Season in Hell, which is a poetic record of a mans examination of his own depths, has steadily increased over the years. Upon the 1st publication of Vareses 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 25-stanza The Drunken Boat, Dr Enid Starkie of Oxford University has written: (Its) an anthology of separate lines of astonishing evocative magic which linger in the mind like isolated jewels. Rimbauds life was so extraordinary that it has taken on the quality of a myth. A biographical chronology is included.
