«Les derniers jours de Charles Baudelaire» is the novel by Bernard-Henri Lévy, published by Grasset in paperback (346 pages, in French).
The novel recreates the last days of Charles Baudelaire in Brussels, when, devastated by syphilis, he loses part of his reason and speech. With an almost detective-like structure, Bernard-Henri Lévy investigates what happened in that final stage of the poet of Les Fleurs du mal, giving voice to figures such as Jeanne Duval, Sainte-Beuve, or Madame Aupick.
Winner of the Prix Interallié in 1988, the novel is part of contemporary French fiction.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and French narrative interested in the figure of Charles Baudelaire.
