The 100 greatest poems of three major French authors, Baudelaire, Victor Hugo, Paul Verlaine, translated into English with perfect accuracy and elegance, narrated by Katie Haigh and Paul Edwards. Excerpts from Hugo's Contemplations and Autumn Leaves, Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil, which started as a banned book in France because of its indecency, and Verlaine's Poèmes Saturniens: here is enough to delight in the greatest poetry lines ever written and to nourish one's literary culture.
