Description: The Illuminations are one of the most important works in the history of poetry. Their attribution to Arthur Rimbaud would it be a gross error editorial? Could it be that, supposedly superior, Rimbaud was only the awkward "scribe" of the Illuminations? Conversely, the poet Germain Nouveau, Rimbaud's companion, unjustly underestimated, would he be the true author, the genius who composed Les Illuminations? In order to repair what would be a historical mistake and a prejudice of posterity, should we put down more than a century of exegeses and restore Germain Nouveau in his property? Since the sixties, overinterpreting the statements of some surrealists, some commentators have attached themselves, in favor of New, to dispossess Rimbaud of any paternity on the Illuminations. Taking seriously these theses and their progressive diffusion, Yalla Seddiki proceeded to their vigorous criticism. He has collected the philosophical, biographical, epistolary and literary elements that allow him to demonstrate that Rimbaud is indeed the author of the Illuminations. The severity of his refutation never departs from the rigor and sobriety required by the study of such an important question in the history of culture. He goes beyond this controversy by initiating a reflection on what differentiates the respective creations of Germain Nouveau and Arthur Rimbaud.
