{"product_id":"paris-spleen-charles-baudelaire-9781967751686","title":"Paris Spleen","description":"\u003cp\u003eParis Spleen is one of the first modern books--formally experimental, morally ambivalent, and relentlessly urban. Written in the 1850s, these fifty prose poems roam through the streets of Paris with unsparing detail and a deeply ambivalent gaze. Baudelaire captures daily life as something both intoxicating and absurd, filled with strange encounters, sudden violence, fleeting beauty, and constant noise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not poetry in the usual sense, but something sharper and more elastic: compact narratives, snapshots, observations, and provocations.Baudelaire moves quickly between tones--satirical, melancholic, brutal, philosophical--without ever losing control. Paris Spleen speaks in the voice of a man both of the city and estranged from it, and it remains one of the most influential works of the 19th century: vivid, darkly comic, and permanently contemporary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Baudelaire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1967751684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781967751686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Charles Baudelaire","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962719883519,"sku":"9781967751686","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89e20860-2c14-4d4d-9148-eda97c5fa4a4.jpg?v=1750652324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paris-spleen-charles-baudelaire-9781967751686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
