Les fleurs du mal by Charles Baudelaire (French) Paperback Book

Description: Les fleurs du mal by Charles Baudelaire Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Upon its original publication in 1857 Charles Baudelaires "Les Fleurs du Mal" or "The Flowers of Evil" was embroiled in controversy. Within a month of its publication the French authorities brought an action against the author and the books publisher claiming that the work was an insult to public decency. Eventually the French courts would acknowledge the literary merit of Baudelaires work but ordered that six poems in particular should be banned from subsequent publication. The notoriety caused by this scandal would ultimately work in the authors favor causing the initial publication to sell out, thus prompting the publication of another edition. The second edition was published in 1861, it included an additional thirty-five poems, with the exclusion of the six poems censored by the French government. In this volume we reproduce that 1861 edition along with the six censored poems in an English translation by William Aggeler. Rich with symbolism, "The Flowers of Evil" is rightly considered a classic of the modernist literary movement. Its themes of decadence and eroticism seek to exhibit Baudelaires criticism of the Parisian society of his time. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Frank Pearce Sturm.
