Une Saison en enfer is Rimbaud's prose poem in nine sections, written when he was still a teenager and published in 1873. In fevered, confessional language, the speaker looks back on his past, his faith, his pride and his failed hopes of remaking life through poetry. Scenes of torment, mockery and bitter honesty alternate with flashes of beauty. It is the only book Rimbaud saw through the press himself, and it is widely read as both a personal reckoning and a farewell to his earlier ambitions. This edition presents the work in its French form.
