«Las flores del mal» is Charles Baudelaire's poetry collection, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
A classic of nineteenth-century French poetry, the collection first appeared amid controversy over the censorship of six poems. Baudelaire explores the tension between beauty and evil, sensuality and spiritualism, and the solitude of modern man, with a musicality and imagery that paved the way for Symbolism.
The original title is Les Fleurs du mal. The first edition dates from 1857; this edition, from 1999, belongs to El Libro de Bolsillo (no. 5534) and includes the translation by Antonio Martínez Sarrión.
The book is aimed at fans of classical poetry, literature students, and readers interested in nineteenth-century French classics.
Charles-Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet, essayist, translator and art critic. His poems are described as exhibiting mastery of rhythm and rhyme, containing an exoticism inherited from the Romantics, and are based on observations of real life.
