Arthur Rimbaud
20. 10. 1854 –
10. 11. 1891
As a teenager, he shook French literature with his wild imagination and defiance of convention. The author of The Drunken Boat and Illuminations both enchanted and provoked, inspiring generations of avant-garde poets. After a brief, dazzling creative outburst, he renounced poetry and left for Africa, where he traveled, traded, and lived far from the European literary world.
