By Arthur Rimbaud
Arthur Rimbaud wrote a few pieces that set French poetry aghast around 1873. He'd taken to wandering Europe in lieu of university. His teachers hated him. There was a sort of subtle but perverse defiance to his work. He would create new words to describe the world around him, and produced pages of rhyming Latin verse in his mathematics class while taking notes. For a time he produced Latin homework for his fellow students and appeared, for a time, to raise the general standard. He criticized every popular structural form and his writings provided a new basis for creative literature in Europe. At the age of 21 Rimbaud renounced writing to explore distant countries. In 12 years he passed through almost 28 countries and amassed a small fortune in gold before complications from a gangrenous leg injury led to his untimely death. He became the first European to travel through northern Ethiopia. Confronted in North Africa by an employer, who told him his adolescent prose was not only alive in Europe but launching a career of its own, is quoted as one histrionic outburst. His former employer, Alfred Barley, wrote: [Rimbaud] would never allow me to mention his former literary works. Sometimes I asked him why he didn't take it up again. All I ever got were the usual replies: "Absurd, ridiculous, disgusting, etc."

[This book is written in French.] Alain Jouffroy présente une série de lettres et de textes écrits par Rimbaud au cours de son séjour à Chypre, au Yemen, en Arabie et en Afrique orientale. Rimbaud y a moins fui l'Europe que redessiné et incorporé l'existence d'un monde solaire, indépendant de toutes les frontières occidentales. Une quête du bonheur trop souvent inaccessible. Alain Jouffroy presents a series of letters and texts written by Rimbaud during his stays in Cyprus, Yemen, Arabia and East Africa. There Rimbaud did not so much escape Europe as recreate and incorporate the existence of a sunny world, independent of all Western borders. A search for happiness too often inaccessible.

Master and Servant rose from the American experience of an Eastern European poet, whose soul wasn't (and maybe isn't) yet flavored with the huge distance's sandy tastes and the perfumes of near-total freedom. Therefore, perhaps, his eyes look to things with an uncommon (for Americans) myopia regarding details. His paintbrush doesn't hit strongly. A sense of fear keeps his hand still, lest it overcome some fine limits of expression, as one sees in the very modern styles, which are full of aggressive, free voices. Both master and servant sleep in the same individual to such an extent that we sometimes come close to madness, become confused and nervous, especially in these times of dynamic changes in conception and speed. Could all these be seen as a kind of sincerity and fragility that will make the readers curious and enticed to read?
