Summary

This is a reissue of Rimbaud’s highly influential work with a new preface by Patti Smith and the original 1945 New Directions cover design by Alvin Lustig. New Directions is pleased to announce the relaunch of the long-celebrated bilingual edition of Rimbaud’s A Season in Hell & The Drunken Boat, a personal poem of damnation, as well as, a plea to be released from “the examination of his own depths”. Rimbaud originally distributed A Season in Hell to friends as a self-published booklet, and soon afterward, at the age of 19, quit poetry altogether. This edition was among the first to be published in the US, and quickly became a classic, and Rimbaud’s famous poem “The Drunken Boat” was subsequently added. Allen Ginsberg proclaimed Arthur Rimbaud as “the first punk”, a visionary mentor to the Beats for both his recklessness and his fiery poetry. This new edition proudly dons the original Alvin Lustig-designed cover, and an introduction by another famous rebel, and now National Book Award winner, Patti Smith.

Le Symbolisme

Summary

Le Symbolisme est un mouvement littéraire et artistique de la fin du XIXe siècle, d'origine française, s'insirant de la spiritualité, de l'imagination et des rêves. Il s'agit d'une conception spirituelle du monde : trouver d'autres moyens d'expression pour dépasser la simple représentation réaliste; les symbolistes utilisent généralement des images et des analogies pour évoquer le monde, suggérer les états d'âme et les idées abstraites sans les expliciter, alors que la pensée logique exploite les données réelles. Contenu : Green La lune blanche Mon rêve familier Matinée d'ivresse Le bateau ivre Chanson de la plus haute tour Apostrophes à l'océan Brise marine Le vierge le vivace Eventail de Mlle Mallarmé

Le Dormeur du Val

Summary

In this audiobook, I first read the poem in slow enunciated French then use simple, everyday French language to explain each individual verse. I then talk about the life of the author, give a full analysis of the poem and finally re-read the poem at a faster speed with a more personal interpretation. Not only is it a great cultural subject but it's a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary, verb tenses and improve your understanding of deeper conversations. French culture is deeply engrained with poetry and this audiobook will teach you both formal and modern pronunciation. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
