L'Oeuvre Poètique de Charles Baudelaire: Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire

"L'Oeuvre Poètique de Charles Baudelaire: Les Fleurs du Mal" by Charles Baudelaire is a poetry collection published in 1857. This scandalous work brought together nearly all of Baudelaire's verse written from 1840 until his death. The collection sparked outrage in French society, leading to a sensational trial and the censorship of six poems deemed immoral. Exploring themes of suffering, sin, death, and the yearning for an ideal world, Baudelaire created a methodically arranged work that juxtaposes human emotion with stark reality and ineffable beauty.
