10. Arthur Rimbaud


Arthur Rimbaud was a French adventurer and poet who won recognition among enthusiasts of the Symbolist movement. As a boy, Rimbaud was a brilliant, but restless student. By the age of 15, he had won various prizes and composed various dialogues in Latin. In 1891, Rimbaud experienced discomfort in his right knee and the initial diagnosis was arthritis. During his trip in Aden, he received a wrong diagnosis from a British doctor, who recommended amputation. After his right leg was amputated, the disease was found to be cancer. His health continued to deteriorate and he died at the age of 37.
