Артюр Рембо — книжные серии

Артюр Рембо – ярчайший представитель французской поэзии XIX века. Юный вздорный мечтатель, презирающий «высокие порывы» своих современников, измученный отроческими комплексами, тиранией матери, идиотизмом провинции и пьянством богемы, создавал стихи удивительной красоты, силы и страсти, причудливо сочетая прекрасное и низменное, ломая привычные традиции поэтической…

Артюр Рембо - феномен французской ли­тературы XIX в., бунтарь и странник, попытавшийся совершить бегство из "мира цвета плесени" и найти спасение в поэзии. "Взрослый с детства ребенок" за свою недолгую творческую жизнь (последнее стихотворение было написано им в 19 лет) успел создать "цве­ты, странней фантасмагорий" такие, как: "Бал повешен­ных", "Восседающие", "Вечерняя молитва", "Гласные" и, конечно же, "Пьяный корабль".
В издание включены стихотворения разных лет, а также созданные "расстройством всех чувств" "озарения".

“The definitive translation for our time.”
–Edward Hirsch

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.

One of the most written-about literary figures in the past decade, Arthur Rimbaud left few traces when he abandoned poetry at age twenty-one and disappeared into the African desert. Although the dozen biographies devoted to Rimbaud’s life depend on one main source for information—his own correspondence—a complete edition of these remarkable letters has never been published in English. Until now.

A moving document of decline, Rimbaud’s letters begin with the enthusiastic artistic pronouncements of a fifteen-year-old genius, and end with the bitter what-ifs of a man whose life has slipped disastrously away. But whether soapboxing on the essence of art, or struggling under the yoke of self-imposed exile in the desert of his later years, Rimbaud was incapable of writing an uninteresting sentence. As translator and editor Wyatt Mason makes clear in his engaging Introduction, the letters reveal a Rimbaud very different from our expectations. Rimbaud—presented by many biographers as a bohemian wild man—is unveiled as “diligent in his pursuit of his goals . . . wildly, soberly ambitious, in poetry, in everything.”

I Promise to Be Good: The Letters of Arthur Rimbaud is the second and final volume in Mason’s authoritative presentation of Rimbaud’s writings. Called by Edward Hirsch “the definitive translation for our time,” Mason’s first volume, Rimbaud Complete (Modern Library, 2002), brought Rimbaud’s poetry and prose into vivid focus. In I Promise to Be Good, Mason adds the missing epistolary pieces to our picture of Rimbaud. “These letters,” he writes, “are proofs in all their variety—of impudence and precocity, of tenderness and rage—for the existence of Arthur Rimbaud.” I Promise to Be Good allows English-language readers to see with new eyes one of the most extraordinary poets in history.

Enduring icon of creativity, authenticity, and rebellion, and the subject of numerous new biographies, Arthur Rimbaud is one of the most repeatedly scrutinized literary figures of the last half-century. Yet almost thirty years have elapsed without a major new translation of his writings. Remedying this state of affairs is Rimbaud Complete, the first and only truly complete edition of Rimbaud’s work in English, translated, edited, and introduced by Wyatt Mason.

Mason draws on a century of Rimbaud scholarship to choreograph a superbly clear-eyed presentation of the poet’s works. He arranges Rimbaud’s writing chronologically, based on the latest manuscript evidence, so readers can experience the famously teenaged poet’s rapid evolution, from the lyricism of “Sensation” to the groundbreaking early modernism of A Season in Hell.

In fifty pages of previously untranslated material, including award-winning early verses, all the fragmentary poems, a fascinating early draft of A Season in Hell, a school notebook, and multiple manuscript versions of the important poem “O saisons, ô chateaux,” Rimbaud Complete displays facets of the poet unknown to American readers. And in his Introduction, Mason revisits the Rimbaud myth, addresses the state of disarray in which the poet left his work, and illuminates the intricacies of the translator’s art.

Mason has harnessed the precision and power of the poet’s rapidly changing voice: from the delicate music of a poem such as “Crows” to the mature dissonance of the Illuminations, Rimbaud Complete unveils this essential poet for a new generation of readers.

Арцюр Рэмбо (1854–1891) – геніяльна адораны французскі паэт, які ўсе свае шэдэўры стварыў ва ўзросце ад 15 да 19 гадоў, а потым ніколі больш не вяртаўся да літаратуры. Рэфарматар французскай паэзіі, які радыкальна змяніў як яе вобразную сістэму, так і саму версіфікацыю. Тэарэтык і практык творчасці як «яснабачання». Моцна паўплываў на паэтаў-дэкадэнтаў і мастацтва сімвалізму. Папярэднік сюррэалістаў з іх «аўтаматычным пісьмом».

Rimbaud is the enfant terrible of French literature, the precocious genius whose extraordinary poetry is revolutionary in its visionary, hallucinatory content and its often liberated forms. He wrote all his poems between the ages of about 15 and 21, after which he turned his back on family, friends, and France to roam the world. In his final years he was a trader in the Horn of Africa. Out of the brief, colourful life and the poetry of sensory wildness has been created the myth of Rimbaud, an enduring icon of youth, rebellion, and freedom. But behind the myth lies a poetic adventure of high ambition and painful rigour, poignant yet heroic. Rimbaud is one of the greatest French poets of all times.

This bilingual edition provides all of Rimbaud's poems, with the exception of his Latin verses and some small fragments. It also includes some of his prose pieces, chosen because they offer a commentary on his poetic concerns.

Судьба гения французской поэзии Артюра Рембо (1854-1891) прослеживается в его немногочисленных, к сожалению, стихотворениях. Написав все свои шедевры в возрасте 16-17 лет, поэт занялся коммерцией, уехал в Африку. Смерть настигла его в роковом для поэтов ихудожников возрасте - в 37 лет. В книгу вошли переводы замечательных отечественных переводчиков: И. Анненского, Ф. Сологуба, Б. Лившица, Д. Бродского, И. Эренбурга, П. Антокольского, М. Кудинова... Среди произведений Рембо, включенных в сборник, - своеобразные стихотворения в прозе: `Озарения` и `Лето в аду`.

Произведения Артюра Рембо - выдающаяся страница французского символизма. Яркая образность, жестокая ритмика, неожиданные, порой шокирующие сюжеты, обжигающий темперамент - все это до сих пор привлекает многочисленных читателей в поэзии гениального "мальчика-бунтаря".

В мировой литературе французский поэт Артюр Рембо (1854-1891) - явление уникальное. Гениально одаренный юноша, о котором Виктор Гюго сказал: "Это Шекспир-дитя", - творил всего три года. Но за это время Артюр Рембо, позднее добровольно обрекший себя на молчание, создал стихи и стихотворения в прозе, что ярким светом озарили поэзию Франции XIX столетия, открыв перед…
