The Flowers of Evil (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781398851399)

This striking pocket hardback edition presents Charles Baudelaire's classic poetry collection, The Flowers of Evil, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

Charles Baudelaire was one of the most influential French writers of the 19th century. First published in his native language - French - and translated into English by Cyril Scott, The Flowers of Evil is a captivating volume of poetry that addresses themes of love, decadence, and death.

Baudelaire's darkly beautiful poetry and lyrical prose never fail to leave a lasting mark on his readers. Controversial and challenging, the outspoken nature of his poems marks him out as a pivotal figure in European literature - a bridge between the Romantics of the past and 20th-century modernism.

This abridged edition includes most of the poems from the 1861 publication with translations from Cyril Scott, Lewis Piaget Shanks, Frank Pearce Sturm, Jack Collings Squire and James Elroy Flecker. This is elegantly presented with a silver embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and silver gilded page edges, making a wonderful gift or collectible for any lover of classic poetry.
