Synopsis "Paris Spleen (in English)"

First published posthumously in 1869, "Paris Spleen" is a collection of 51 short prose poems by Charles Baudelaire. Inspired by Aloysius Bertrand's "Gaspard de la Nuit - Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot" or "Gaspard of the Night - Fantasies in the Manner of Rembrandt and Callot", Baudelaire remarked that he had read Bertrand's work at least twenty times for starting "Paris Spleen". A commentary on Parisian contemporary life, Baudelaire remarked on his work that "These are the flowers of evil again, but with more freedom, much more detail, and much more mockery." The themes present in "Paris Spleen" are wide-ranging. In a stream of consciousness style Baudelaire discusses pleasure, intoxication, artistry, women, poverty and social status, city life, religion, and morality. These little snapshots of daily life in the city of Paris capture the tumultuous time in which they were written, the middle of the 19th century, and establish "Paris Spleen" as a classic of the modernist literary movement.

(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.
