Exploring themes of revolt and transformation, this collection features forty-two poems by Arthur Rimbaud, primarily in prose format, showcasing his innovative style. Written between 1873 and 1875, these works were first published in "La Vogue" and later compiled in book form, largely due to the encouragement of his lover, Paul Verlaine. While the order of the poems is often deemed irrelevant, this edition begins with "Après Le Deluge." Celebrated by Albert Camus, Rimbaud's "Illuminations" exemplifies his profound poetic talent and vision.
