Summary "Voyage en Abyssinie et au Harrar" by Arthur Rimbaud is a travel narrative recorded during the late 19th century. The book chronicles Rimbaud’s experiences while he was living in the Horn of Africa, specifically Ethiopia (then referred to as Abyssinia) and Harrar. It offers a unique glimpse into the socio-economic landscape of the region during that period, primarily focusing on trade, political dynamics, and the challenges faced by caravan travelers. In this detailed account, Rimbaud recounts his attempts to set up trade routes and the difficulties he encountered with local tribes, particularly in organizing caravans for transporting goods. The narrative covers his observations on the natural landscapes, the political maneuverings involving King Menelik II, and the implications of foreign interests in the area. Rimbaud provides insights into the complex relationships between different tribes, the colonial undertones affecting trade, and the precarious nature of life in a region marked by conflict and economic turmoil. Through his firsthand experiences, Rimbaud captures the vibrant but chaotic atmosphere of Abyssinia and Harrar, painting a vivid picture of a largely uncharted and dynamic world.
