«Las flores del mal» is Charles Baudelaire's poetry collection, published by Oveja Negra in hardcover (204 pages, in Spanish).
The work, originally published in 1857, marked a change in French poetry: Baudelaire works on the musicality of verse, the audacity of imagery and the correspondences between sensations, a path that anticipates symbolism. His poems move between sensuality and spiritual aspiration, between the attraction of beauty and the weight of evil, and reflect the solitude of modern man.
Translation by Antonio Martínez Sarrión. The original work appeared in 1857; this Oveja Negra edition is from 1984. This translation received the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or de Traducció in 1986.
For readers of classical poetry, interested in nineteenth-century French literature and the origins of symbolism.
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.
