AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An author not easy to read, in search—sometimes obsessive—of themes such as death and eros, in this work, as the title suggests, draws inspiration from Baudelairean themes, especially in his eternal quest for existential truth, between melancholy, boredom, and the attempt to reach pure, ideal beauty, perhaps nonexistent or tied to an irrecoverable past. The impossibility of attaining that ideal state creates melancholy, the 'black bile'.
