Baudelaire's complex relationship with his contemporaries and his rejection of conventional forms serve as a backdrop for this masterwork.

Baudelaire's incisive observations and innovative style provide profound insights into the nature of beauty and the challenges of modernity.

À propos de l'auteur
Charles Baudelaire, an eminent French poet of the nineteenth century, is best known for his compelling fusion of modernity with traditional poetic forms. Born on April 9, 1821, in Paris, Baudelaire's work came to epitomize the dichotomous tensions between beauty and decay, the fleeting and the eternal, which characterize the literary movement of French Symbolism. His style was markedly innovative, combining the sensual and the macabre, the urban and the exotic. Baudelaire's keen observation of the city life led to the creation of a tableau of urban scenes rich in symbolism and depth of emotion. His masterpiece, 'Les Fleurs du Mal' (1857), revolutionized the world of poetry by exploring taboo subjects with a refined lyricism. Baudelaire extended his innovative vision to the prose poem, seeking to break from classical verse's constraints. 'Poems in Prose' ('Le Spleen de Paris') showcases Baudelaire's explorations within this genre, weaving the everyday with philosophical contemplation and a haunting lyricism. The brevity and unconventionality of the prose poem allowed Baudelaire to experiment with rhythm and imagery, creating pieces that still resonate for their modernity and psychological depth. His life was plagued by financial troubles and illness, yet his work has profoundly shaped modern literature, influencing poets from Rimbaud to T.S. Eliot. Baudelaire's literary style captivates the paradox of human existence, and his profound influence endures, securing his place as a central figure in the cannon of French literature.
