Paul Schmidt's acclaimed collection brings together his complete poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell." Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons"—Childhood, the Open Road, War, the Tormented Heart, the Visionary, the Damned Soul, a Few Belated Cowardices, and the Man with the Wind at His Heels—that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters. Review: A most extraordinary poet. - I purchased this to replace a previous worn copy. Rimbaud was a remarkable and one of a kind poet. His imagery is still astounding and influential even now so long after his passing. The translation is exceptional as well. Mr. Schmidt did an excellent job. As Rimbaud is my favorite French poet, I have several editions of his works. This translation being my favorite. I'm very happy to have obtained a replacement. This edition contains extra features my old one doesn't. My thanks to all. Review: Fantastic, stylish edition with invaluable editorials - The actual content of the edition and its editing is magnificent - the tidbits on Rimbaud's life add invaluable context and it's organized in different seasons for each period of his life that really make you appreciate his maturity as a writer. The covers are a bit flimsy as all Harper Perennial Modern Classic editions are, but that's the only possible gripe I could have. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,016 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in French Poetry (Books) #30 in LGBTQ+ Poetry (Books) #38 in French Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 343 Reviews | ## Images ![Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works: An Influential Poet's Biography―Visionary Poetry, Prose, and Letters Translated by Paul Schmidt (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IxQ8FgZrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A most extraordinary poet. *by D***D on August 29, 2024* I purchased this to replace a previous worn copy.
