«La Fanfarlo» is the short novel by Charles Baudelaire, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback, in French.
An abandoned woman commissions Samuel Cramer, a failed writer, to seduce her husband's mistress, the actress La Fanfarlo, so that her husband will return to her. The plan backfires when Cramer falls in love with the actress and becomes trapped by his own scheme. It is a satire of the theatre and literary worlds, and reveals Baudelaire's fascination with the female figure.
Originally published in 1847; this 2018 edition, in Folio Classique, is edited by Claude Pichois.
Suitable for readers interested in French classics and in Baudelaire's narrative work.
Charles-Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet, essayist, translator and art critic. His poems are described as exhibiting mastery of rhythm and rhyme, containing an exoticism inherited from the Romantics, and are based on observations of real life.
