Sensual, macabre, joyous and liberating, The Flowers of Evil, or,
Les Fleurs du Mal, is a beautifully debauched reflection on dreams,
sin, life and death. With subjects ranging from travel to drugs,
sex to faith, sleep to contemplation, Baudelaire finds new beauty
in the most sinister and corrupt of situations. His morbid and
nightmarish Romanticism was completely unique: cynical and bleak,
but also inspiring, lifted by magnificent imagery and melodious
language. The book was highly controversial upon its release and
Napoleon III's government prosecuted Baudelaire for `an insult to
public decency'; six of the poems were banned until as recently as
1949.
