Synopsis "Charles Baudelaire: His Life (in English)"
CHARLES BAUDELAIRE: HIS LIFE --- By Théophile Gautier --- With poems translated by Guy Thorne --- Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a celebrated 19th century French poet, author of the famous Flowers of Evil poetic sequence, first published in 1857. Baudelaire is a poet's poet par excellence, a brilliant craftsman who produced some of the finest poems in the French language. Baudelaire was known as a dandy who led a bohemian lifestyle; he knew many of the artists of the era (Manet, Nadar, Delacroix, and Gautier). Baudelaire's influence on subsequent poets and artists has been immense. This book by Charles Baudelaire's friend Théophile Gautier is an important early study of the poet. Gautier offers a biography of the poet, and looks at his work. In the second part, Guy Thorne translates a selections of Baudelaire's poems, including from his two best-known collections - the Flowers of Evil and the Little Poems In Prose. A group of letters from Baudelaire are also included, and an essay on Baudelaire's influence. --- Illustrated. 204 pages.

(París, 1821-1867) Está entre los poetas más influyentes del siglo XIX, y probablemente también de toda la historia de la literatura universal. Expulsado del Liceo Louis-le-Grand pese a la obtención del título de Bachiller superior, en 1940 se inscribe en la facultad de derecho. Comienza a frecuentar entonces el Barrio Latino, donde conoce a Gérard de Nerval, Sainte-Beuve y Balzac, adentrándose de forma irrefrenable en el mundo de humo, opio y prostitución de la bohemia parisina. Por su impía conducta, la familia lo envía a los Mares del Sur. A su regreso, no obstante, Baudelaire vertería la obra de Edgar Allan Poe al francés y llevaría a cabo sus obras más conocidas: desde el escandaloso poemario Las flores del mal (1857) hasta los textos de Los paraísos artificiales (1960) y el póstumo El spleen de París (1869). Duramente criticado y vilipendiado en vida por lo escandaloso de su obra y conducta, Baudelaire murió sifilítico y empobrecido, desconocedor del impagable legado que había donado a la posteridad. Adalid del simbolismo, estandarte del romanticismo y precursor del decadentismo, su cuerpo yace enterrado en el Cementerio de Montparnasse.
