Somebody Else: Arthur Rimbaud in Africa, 1880-91

Trama

This is the story of Rimbaud`s `lost years' the years after he turned his back on poetry, and fame and France, for a life of wandering and obscurity in the wilds of East Africa. In this compelling biographical study, Charles Nicholl pieces together the shadowy story of Rimbaud`s life as a trader, explorer and gun-runner in Africa.
