«Le Spleen de Paris» is Charles Baudelaire's collection of prose poems, published by LGF in paperback format (253 pages, in French).
The work brings together brief prose texts with which Baudelaire sought to capture the strangeness of everyday life in nineteenth-century Paris, adopting the gaze of the flâneur before the modern city. The poems explore solitude, melancholy and the search for beauty in urban scenes, and opened a new literary form that would influence later poets. This edition, prepared by Jean-Luc Steinmetz, includes the complete text of the Petits poèmes en prose.
Edition established by Jean-Luc Steinmetz. Baudelaire himself conceived these poems as a complement to «Les Fleurs du Mal».
Recommended for readers of poetry and nineteenth-century French literature, and for those who wish to approach a classic in its original language.
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.
