The Flowers of Evil (Used Hardcover) - Charles Baudelaire, James Laver (Editor), Pierre-Yves Tremois (Illustrator)

Condition: This book in a cardboard slipcase is in Very Good Condition. The book itself is like new. The red slipcase is faded with age.

The Flowers of Evil, which T.S. Eliot called the greatest example of modern poetry in any language, shocked the literary world of nineteenth century France with its outspoken portrayal of lesbian love, its linking of sexuality and death, its unremitting irony, and its unflinching celebration of the seamy side of urban life.

Presents the first American translation of the complete text of Baudelaire's 1857 masterwork and includes the complete original French texts for easy comparison.
