A new thrill" Victor HugoThis striking pocket hardback edition presents Charles Baudelaires classic poetry collection, The Flowers of Evil, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded pageedges.Charles Baudelaire was one of the most influential French writers of the 19th century, whose darkly beautiful poetry never failed to leave a lasting mark on his readers. Controversial and challenging, the outspoken nature of his poems marks him out as a pivotal figure in European literature a bridge between the Romantics of the past and 20thcentury modernism. Flowers of Evil, or Les Fleurs du mal, is perhaps his most celebrated collection, which addresses themes of love, decadence, and death.
