The Flowers of Evil — Charles P. Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire, poète maudit, is the self-styled â�,��"Satanic manâ�,� whose collection THEâ�,�ˆFLOWERSâ�,�ˆOFâ�,�ˆEVIL (Les Fleurs du Mal) is marked by paeans to sexual degradation such as â�,��"The Litanies Of Satanâ�,� and â�,��"Metamorphosis Of The Vampireâ�,�. Baudelaire himself revelled in a life of filth, and revered as his poetic muse a diseased mulatto prostitute. THE FLOWERS OF EVIL is now presented in a brand new translation that vividly brings Baudelaireâ�,��"�s masterpiece to life for the new millennium. This special ebook edition also includes Baudelaireâ�,��"�s Satanic short story, â�,��"The Generous Gamblerâ�,�, plus an introductory essay by Guillaume Apollinaire, published for the first time in English.
