This masterpiece of French poetry is signed by Charles Baudelaire, the doomed poet of the 19th century -

In this collection, he expresses his view of the world, marked by spleen, evil, sensuality, beauty and art. He explores the darkest and most subversive themes of his era, which earned him censorship and the condemnation of justice -

He also creates a new poetic language, based on the correspondences between the senses, images and symbols. Les Fleurs du mal is a major work of universal literature, which has inspired many poets and artists -
