"A new shudder. A new thrill" - Victor Hugo This striking pocket hardback edition presents Charles Baudelaire's classic poetry collection, The Flowers of Evil, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges. 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 20th-century modernism. Flowers of Evil, or 'Les Fleurs du mal', is perhaps his most celebrated collection, which addresses themes of love, decadence, and death. Though many of these poems were banned in his lifetime, their lyrical beauty and penetrating themes have ensured their enduring success. This edition includes curated selection of the poems from the 1861 publication, with translations from Cyril Scott, Lewis Piaget Shanks, Frank Pearce Sturm, Jack Collings Squire and James Elroy Flecker. This is elegantly presented with a silver embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and silver gilded page edges, making a wonderful gift or collectible for any lover of classic poetry. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound editions of iconic literary works across history.
