Description

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.

The book was highly controversial upon its release and Napoleon IIIs government prosecuted Baudelaire for an insult to public decency; six of the poems were banned until as recently as 1949.
