- Synopsis
- From Dante's INFERNO to SARTRE'S NO EXIT, writers have been fascinated by visions of damnation. Within that rich literature of suffering, Arthur Rimbaud's A SEASON IN HELL - written when the poet was nineteen - provides an astonishing example of the grapple with self. As a companion to Rimbaud's journey, readers could have no better guide than Wyatt Mason. One of our most talented young translators and critics, Mason's new version of A SEASON IN HELL renders the music and mystery of Rimbaud's tale of HELL ON EARTH with exceptional finesse and power. This bilingual edition includes maps, a helpful chronology of Rimbaud's life, and the unfinished suite of prose poems, Illuminations. With A SEASON IN HELL, they cement Rimbaud's reputation as one of the foremost, and most influential, writers in French literature.
