«Los paraísos artificiales» is the essay by French poet Charles Baudelaire, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (244 pages, in Spanish).
Charles Baudelaire examines hashish and opium, the social considerations around their consumption and the «multiplication of individuality» they produce, and reflects on the nature of poetry, comparing and contrasting it with those artificial paradises. This edition includes texts by Gautier and Rimbaud written under the influence of opium.
Volume number 100 of the Básica de Bolsillo collection, with a translation from the French by Mauro Armiño. The work was originally published in 1860 under the title Les Paradis artificiels.
For students and readers of nineteenth-century French literature, as well as those interested in the essay and reflection on drugs.
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.
