This collection includes two books by Baudelaire: ‘Prose Poems’ and the programmatic ‘The Flowers of Evil,’ which brought the author widespread international fame. This manifesto of French symbolism was first published in 1857 and caused a stormy public reaction. For the poet, the scandal ended with a court fine, the book's circulation was seized, and the most ‘indecent’ poems were removed from the collection. Time has put everything in its place: the names of the narrow-minded persecutors have long been forgotten, while Baudelaire's poems, with their vivid imagery, sparkling metaphors, and free flight of imagination, continue to delight and captivate true lovers of poetry around the world.
