Special Fields
DescriptionAt eighteen, the French poet Rimbaud proclaimed: "My day is done; I'm leaving Europe. The sea air will burn my lungs; lost climes will tan my skin." Three years later, in 1876, he joined the Royal Army of the Dutch Indies and sailed for Java. This book charts renowned French poet Arthur Rimbaud's lost voyage. Reviews"Jamie James's Rimbaud in Java is a delightful work on many levels...From its sepia print to its bevelled edges, it evokes a lightly self-mocking and nostalgic charm that precisely echoes that of its prose."-Nigel Barley, Times Literary Supplement, November 11, 2011 |
