Synopsis "Les Fleurs du mal (in French)"

Publié le 25 juin 1857, réédité dans des versions différentes en 1861, 1866 puis 1868, ce recueil est l'une des oeuvres majeures de la poésie moderne. Ses quelque 150 pièces, empreintes d'une nouvelle esthétique où l'art poétique juxtapose une réalité souvent crue - voire triviale - à la beauté la plus ineffable, exerceront une influence considérable sur des poètes ultérieurs aussi éminents que 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.
