1.0 out of 5 stars
crappy kindle format,
By Susan E. Russell (Yarmouthport, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Season in Hell and The Illuminations (Galaxy Books) (Kindle Edition)
I bought this book on the kindle, and was extremely dissappointed t find that the format was mucked up. The translations and the original french in the hard copy of the book lie on opposite pages; in the kindle format, the french and the english are interspersed and the poems are completely unreadable.

bad quality edition,
By Cuca Pipoca "Cuca Pipoca" (São Paulo, Brasil) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Season in Hell and The Illuminations (Galaxy Books) (Kindle Edition)
this is a bilingual edition but the lines in French and in English are all entangled in a way that is impossible to read with a minimum of fluidity. Remember, this is a poetry book, so rythm is most important, which is completely lost in this lousy format!

Rimbaud the Great in a Poor Translation,
By
This review is from: A Season in Hell and The Illuminations (Galaxy Books) (Paperback)
Rimbaud's crackling poetic prose and gorgeous poetry is full of inventive energy in French: in this translator's English, it is flat, stilted, awkward and energyless. If you read French, the book's OK, because you have the original on facing pages. But if you read French, why buy this?
