«Les Fleurs du mal» is Charles Baudelaire's poetry collection published by Editions Larousse in paperback, in French.
The collection brings together almost all the lyric poetry Baudelaire wrote between 1840 and his death, organized with a deliberate design. It addresses ennui, the fascination with evil, death and the longing for an ideal world. Its publication in 1857 caused a scandal, a trial and the censorship of six pieces; today it is a central work of modern poetry.
The collection was republished in expanded versions in 1861, 1866 and 1868; the work was not rehabilitated until 1949. This French edition belongs to the Classiques Larousse collection.
Suitable for readers of classical poetry and literature students who want to work with the text in French, as part of Larousse's school 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.
