“These two gifted authors combine their considerable talents for this incendiary retelling of the notorious love affair between the celebrated French poets, young Arthur Rimbaud - a "wild boy" from the Ardennes with a passion for living life at the br...”

Arthur Rimbaud is an untamed teenage savage from the French provinces, randy and ready to try any and everything, convinced that a life of unbridled excess is the true pathway to great poetry. Rimbaud's creative outburst is consumed in the decadence of his lifestyle by the time he is barely out of his teens, but not before he has established himself as one of history's greatest poets, hailed today as one of the fathers of the French "symbolist" movement - and not before he has nurtured Paul Verlaine from a passable poet into a great one.
