Unknown Beyond the avant-garde at the time of his death, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) has been one of the most destructive and liberating influences on twentieth-century culture. During his lifetime he was a bourgeois-baiting visionary, a reinventor of language and perception, a breaker of taboos. The list of his known crimes is longer than the list of his published poems. But his posthumous career is even more astonishing: saint to symbolists and surrealists; poster child for anarchy and drug use: gay pioneer; and a major influence on such artists as Picasso, Bob Dylan, and Jim Morrison.At the age of twenty-one, Rimbaud turned his back on his artistic achievement. For his remaining sixteen years he lived in exile, ending up as a major explorer and arms trader in Abyssinia. The genius of Graham Robb's account is to join the two halves of this life, to show Rimbaud's wild and unsettling poetry as a blueprint for the exotic adventures to come. This is the story of Rimbaud the explorer, in mind and in matter.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Unknown beyond the avant-garde at the time of his death, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) remains one of the most destructive and liberating influences on 20th-century life. A bourgeois-baiting visionary during his lifetime (especially his assault on Parisian poets & poetry), the list of the poet's known crimes is longer than the list of his published poems. Posthumously, Rimbaud singularly launched the boat of Surrealism (rowed by Andre Breton to the chandelier shores of the Unconscious Revolver), and influenced 20th century artists ranging from Pablo Picasso to Bob Dylan. 'Written with exhilarating lucidity and historical acumen.' Notes, Select Bibliography, Index. With b&w photos & illus. 552p. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2467196
