«Pobre Bélgica» is Charles Baudelaire's unfinished satirical essay, published by Valparaíso Ediciones in 2014 in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Critical and unfinished work: in his last two years Baudelaire gathered notes to portray the character and customs of nineteenth-century Belgium. It was not only a satire of Walloons and Flemings, but a distorting mirror of the vices of French society; the author considered it his most ambitious project, «diferente a todo».
First complete edition in Spain of the manuscript, with poems never before translated into Spanish. The original is kept at the Spoelberch de Lovenjoul Library, in Chantilly.
Work of interest for readers of Baudelaire and for those studying nineteenth-century French literature or the editing of posthumous manuscripts.
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.
