Synopsis "les fleurs du mal (in French)"

Les Fleurs du mal est l'unique recueil de poèmes en vers de Charles Baudelaire. Elles englobent la quasi-totalité de sa production poétique, de 1840 jusqu'à sa mort, fin août 1867. Publiées le 25 juin 1857, rééditées dans des versions différentes en 1861, 1866 puis 1868, Les Fleurs du Mal sont l'une des oeuvres majeures de la poésie moderne. Empreintes d'une nouvelle esthétique où le langage poétique fait surgir la beauté et le sublime d'une réalité souvent crue, voire triviale, elles exerceront une influence considérable sur Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud et Stéphane Mallarmé.

(Paris, 1821-1867) He is among the most influential poets of the 19th century, and probably also of the entire history of world literature. Expelled from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand despite obtaining the title of Superior Bachelor, in 1940 he enrolled in the faculty of law. He then began to frequent the Latin Quarter, where he met Gérard de Nerval, Sainte-Beuve, and Balzac, plunging uncontrollably into the world of smoke, opium, and prostitution of the Parisian bohemia. Due to his impious behavior, his family sent him to the South Seas. Upon his return, however, Baudelaire would translate the works of Edgar Allan Poe into French and carry out his most famous works: from the scandalous poetry collection The Flowers of Evil (1857) to the texts of Artificial Paradises (1960) and the posthumous Paris Spleen (1869). Harshly criticized and vilified in life for the scandalous nature of his work and behavior, Baudelaire died syphilitic and impoverished, unaware of the invaluable legacy he had bequeathed to posterity. Champion of symbolism, standard-bearer of romanticism, and precursor of decadentism, his body lies buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery.
