«Le Spleen de Paris» is a prose poetry collection by Charles Baudelaire, published by J'ai Lu in the Librio collection, in paperback (89 pages, in French).
Baudelaire traverses modern Paris and confronts misery, old age and inequality; the city becomes a mirror of his own downfall. Escape seems an imaginary journey beyond the world. With prose devoid of rhyme or meter, the work explores the intoxication of the senses and art, and is considered a founding text of modern poetry.
The paperback edition appeared in 2004 within the Librio collection, Poésie series, with the complete text.
Aimed at readers of poetry and nineteenth-century French literature, and at students approaching Baudelaire and the origins of prose poetry.
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.
