Cahiers de Douai
À travers ces vers envoûtants, la voix tumultueuse et révolutionnaire d'Arthur Rimbaud résonne encore, défiant le temps et les conventions littéraires. Ce recueil écrit à l'adolescence, éclatant de jeunesse et de véhémence, est un témoignage du génie de ce poète. Il nous confie ses tourments et ses révoltes, sa quête insatiable de liberté et d'amour. Ses poèmes manuscrits étaient destinés par leur auteur à être brûlés. Donnés à son ami, Paul Demeny, ce dernier les sauvera de leur funeste destin. Le poème emblématique Le Dormeur du Val, pépite de la poésie française, fait partie de ce trésor littéraire inestimable. Entre exaltation et désespoir, révolte et contemplation, le jeune Rimbaud a défié les normes de la poésie pour nous confier en toute intimité ses confessions brûlantes et élever son art à de nouveaux sommets. Sous sa plume exaltée, les mots deviennent des armes, transperçant les coeurs et ébranlant les esprits.

Arthur Rimbaud
Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (UK: , US: ; French: ; 20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes and for his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism.
Born in Charleville, he started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student, but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian War. During his late adolescence and early adulthood, he produced the bulk of his literary output. Rimbaud completely stopped writing literature at age 20 after assembling his last major work, Illuminations.
Rimbaud was a libertine and a restless soul, having engaged in a hectic, sometimes violent romantic relationship with fellow poet Paul Verlaine, which lasted nearly two years. After his retirement as a writer, he travelled extensively on three continents as a merchant and explorer until his death from cancer just after his thirty-seventh birthday. As a poet, Rimbaud is well known for his contributions to symbolism and, among other works, for A Season in Hell, a precursor to modernist literature.
