Charles Baudelaire Libros

Ningún hombre ha explicado con tanta magia lo "excepcional" de la vida humana y de la naturaleza, incluye: Los crímenes de la calle Morgue, El misterio de Marie Roget, Un descenso al Maelströn, El corazón delator y El tonel amontillado.

Envuelta en escándalo en el momento de su aparición (la primera edición, en 1857, padeció la supresión de los seis célebres poemas condenados por el Tribunal Correccional de París), «Las flores del mal» inauguró una poética innovadora que se traduce en la búsqueda de la musicalidad del poema, en la audacia de la imagen y en el famoso sistema de «correspondencias» que habría de dar origen al movimiento simbolista. Desgarrada entre la sensualidad y el espiritualismo, entre la atracción de la belleza y el poder del mal, la poesía de Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) trasladada de forma exquisita al castellano en la presente traducción se enraíza en la soledad del hombre contemporáneo. Versión de Antonio Martínez Sarrión

Contains Les Fleurs du mal (1857), Nouvelles Fleurs du mal (1868), and Les Epaves (1866).

This volume contains Gautier's biographical essay „The Life and Intimate Memoirs of Baudelaire“.

Reprint of the original edition from 1915.

Controversial book of verse, first published in 1857, presented in a handsome dual-language edition, together with superb selection of great French poet's other works: prose poems from "Spleen of Paris," critical essays on art, music, and literature, as well as personal letters. Line-by-line English translation, with original French text on facing page.

Published posthumously in 1869, Paris Spleen was a landmark publication in the development of the genre of prose poetry - a form which Baudelaire saw as particularly suited for expressing the feelings of uncertainty, flux and freedom of his age - and one of the founding texts of literary Modernism.

Modern poetry begins with Charles Baudelaire (1821-67), who employed his unequalled technical mastery to create the shadowy, desperately dramatic urban landscape -- populated by the addicted and the damned -- which so compellingly mirrors our modern condition. Deeply though darkly spiritual, titanic in the changes he wrought, Baudelaire looms over all the work, great and small, created in his wake.

Controversially published in 1857, Baudelaire's collection faced censorship for its challenge to public decency. This edition presents the 1861 version, including six previously banned poems and the posthumously published "Paris Spleen," a series of 51 prose poems reflecting on Parisian life. Inspired by Aloysius Bertrand, Baudelaire's work is noted for its rich symbolism and modernist themes, showcasing a blend of freedom, detail, and mockery. The volume features an introduction by James Huneker and is printed on premium acid-free paper.
