Flowers Of Evil

Charles Baudelaire, poète maudit, is the self-styled “Satanic man†whose collection THE FLOWERS OF EVIL (Les Fleurs du Mal) is marked by paeans to sexual degradation such as “The Litanies Of Satan†and “Metamorphosis Of The Vampireâ€. Baudelaire himself revelled in a life of filth, and revered as his poetic muse a diseased mulatto prostitute. THE FLOWERS OF EVIL is now presented in a brand new translation that vividly brings Baudelaire’s masterpiece to life for the new millennium. This special ebook edition also includes Baudelaire’s Satanic short story, “The Generous Gamblerâ€, plus an introductory essay by Guillaume Apollinaire, published for the first time in English.
