«Le Spleen de Paris» is Charles Baudelaire's prose poetry collection, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (222 pages, in French).
Le Spleen de Paris brings together prose poems Baudelaire published in magazines: scenes of Parisian life, flâneur walks, marginal types, and reflections on art. It does not form a closed whole like Les Fleurs du mal, but a space of freedom where the city, melancholy, and the grotesque coexist. The work anticipates Rimbaud and Mallarmé.
The work appeared posthumously in 1869, two years after Baudelaire's death. This edition belongs to the Classiques de poche collection and is edited by Jean-Luc Steinmetz.
Common in French literature syllabi, it is a reference work for readers of classical poetry and nineteenth-century urban culture.
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.
