Description & Specifications

The poems of Charles Baudelaire are filled with expressive and chilling imagery, intensely depicting everyday subjects ignored by the French literary conventions of his time. 'Tableaux parisiens' illustrates the violent lives of thieves, drunks, and prostitutes of Paris amidst the ruins of factories and impoverished homes. In love poems like 'Le Beau Navire', flights of lyricism intertwine with weary sensuality, while prose poems such as 'La Chambre Double' deal with the anxieties of artistic creation and mortality. With their subversive blend of harsh reality and exquisite beauty, as well as their formal ingenuity and revolutionary poetic language, these poems, including a generous selection from 'Les Fleurs du Mal', showcase Baudelaire as one of the most influential poets of the nineteenth century.
