Synopsis "The Flowers of Evil: Dual Language and New Verse Translation (in English)"

Judicially condemned in 1857 as offensive to public morality, The Flowers of Evil is now regarded as the most influential volume of poetry published in the nineteenth century. Torn between intense sensuality and profound spiritual yearning, racked by debt and disease, Baudelaire transformed his own experience of Parisian life into a work of universal significance. With his unflinching examination of the dark aspects and unconventional manifestations of sexuality, his pioneering portrayal of life in a great metropolis and his daring combination of the lyrical and the prosaic, Baudelaire inaugurated a new epoch in poetry and created a founding text of modernism. Anthony Mortimer, already praised for his virtuoso translations of Petrarch, Dante and Villon, has produced a new version that not only respects the sense and the form of the original French, but also makes powerful English poetry in its own right.

(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.
