Written by Arthur Rimbaud at age eighteen in the wake of his tempestuous affair with fellow poet Paul Verlaine, A SEASON IN HELL has been a touchstone for anguished poets, artists and lovers for more than a century. Imbued with a hallucinatory intensity, this confessional prose poem is an account of a hellish journey beyond the bounds of society - and the attempt to find a way back.
Based on an edition first published in 1986, this stunning volume presents Rimbaud's poem in both the original French and an English translation - and opens each of the poems eight sections with a dazzling photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe that brilliantly complements the poems shifting moods. These images by one of the most notorious contemporary photographers underline the striking modernity of Rimbaud's great work - and makes this a perfect gift for friends, lovers and fans of either artist.

ARTHUR RIMBAUD (1854-91) wrote most of his work between the ages of 16 & 19, after which he renounced poetry, to pursue a career as a soldier, coffee trader and gun runner. ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE (1946-89) gained renown during the 1980s for his controversial nudes but is also highly regarded for his portraits and still lifes.
