Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. First edition, second printing. The bilingual, illustrated, and National Book Award-winning edition of Charles Baudelaires masterpiece. The complete French text is accompanied with an English translation by Richard Howard.Charles Baudelaires 1857 masterwork was scandalous in its day for its portrayals of sex, same-sex love, death, the corrupting and oppressive power of the modern city and lost innocence, Les Fleurs Du Mal (The Flowers of Evil) remains powerful and relevant for our time.In Spleen et idéal, Baudelaire dramatizes the erotic cycle of ecstacy and anguish-of sexual and romantic love. Tableaux Parisiens condemns the crushing effects of urban planning on a citys soul and praises the citys anti-heroes including the deranged and derelict. Le Vin centers on the search for oblivion in drink and drugs. The many kinds of love that lie outside traditional morality is the focus of Fleurs du Mal while rebellion is at the heart of Révolte.The voice of Baudelaire lives in this award-winning edition that includes monotypes by artist, Michael Mazur. Howards achievement is such that we can be confident that this Fleurs du Mal will long stand as definitive, a superb guide to Frances greatest poet.-The Nation. Seller Inventory # DADAX0879234628
