Synopsis
Many of the poems in this collection, published in 1857, were banned for indecency by the French government. A major 19th-century text and an inspiration to the Symbolist movement, THE FLOWERS OF EVIL evokes the decay and debauchery of the Parisian underworld, expressing both the seduction and repulsion of death. Baudelaire implicates the reader in his project, admonishing his audience with the famous line, "Hypocrite reader--my likeness--my brother!"

 The poetic masterpiece of the great nineteenth-century writer Charles Baudelaire, "The Flowers of Evil" is one of the most frequently read and studied works in the French language. In this compelling new translation of Baudelaire's most famous collection, Keith Waldrop recasts the poet's original French alexandrines and other poetic arrangements into versets, a form that hovers between poetry and prose. Maintaining Baudelaire's complex view of sound and structure, Waldrop's translation mirrors the intricacy of the original without attempting to replicate its inimitable verse. The result is a powerful new re-imagining, one that is, almost paradoxically, closer to Baudelaire's own poetry than any previous English translation. Including the six poems banned from the first edition, this "Flowers of Evil" preserves the complexity, eloquence, and dark humor of its author. Brought here to new life, it is hypnotic, frank, and forceful. Excellent condition, 1936 5th edition solid tight clean, With the original text and with a preface by "Miss Millay". Near fine black boards with dim yellow titles and clean text throughout.
