The book contains the most characteristic and unforgettable poems of Arthur Rimbaud, a French poet of the 19th century. Arthur Rimbaud is an unusual phenomenon in the history of literature. He devoted only three years of his life to literature, but his lyrics were able to accommodate the forms and stylistic features of the three-hundred-year-old poetic heritage of France. Rimbaud’s rebellious expression and outrageousness, his experienced knowledge of the underside of life and its inherent vices, combined with the acuteness of heartfelt experiences and childish touching, delights more than one generation of readers. The poet’s creative path took only three years, after which he categorically abandoned writing, devoting himself to travel and military adventures.
