The Poems and Prose Poems of Charles Baudelaire PDF, EPUB

1919. Charles Baudelaire was a 19th century French poet, translator, literary and art critic. Known for his highly controversial, and often dark poetry, Baudelaire's life was filled with drama and strife, from financial disaster to being prosecuted for obscenity and blasphemy.

Long after his death many look upon his name as representing depravity and vice. His reputation rests primarily on The Flowers of Evil, which was perhaps the most important and influential poetry collection published in Europe in the 19th century. Similarly, his Little Prose Poems was the most successful and innovative early experiment in prose poetry of the time.

Both of these works are contained in this volume.
