Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.19Mb
Overview: “Slaves, let us not curse life.” Reading Arthur Rimbaud condemns you to set out on the road one day. For the poet of Illuminations and A Season in Hell, life is organized around movement. He escapes from the Ardennes, gallops through the Parisian night, chases love in Belgium, strolls through London, and then ventures to his death on the trails of Africa. Poetry is the movement of things. Rimbaud moves relentlessly, changing his perspective. His project: to transform the world through words. His poems are projectiles, bursts of fire: one hundred and fifty years later, they still reach us. What have we done with our sorrows? At a time when the world was paralyzed by a Chinese virus, Sylvain Tesson walked for a season with Arthur Rimbaud. Walking—the supreme state of poetry—is, along with literature, the antidote to boredom.
