      CHARLES BAUDELAIRE: HIS LIFE --- By Théophile Gautier --- With poems translated by Guy Thorne --- Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a celebrated 19th century French poet, author of the famous Flowers of Evil poetic sequence, first published in 1857. Baudelaire is a poet's poet par excellence, a brilliant craftsman who produced some of the finest poems in the French language. Baudelaire was known as a dandy who led a bohemian lifestyle; he knew many of the artists of the era (Manet, Nadar, Delacroix, and Gautier). Baudelaire's influence on subsequent poets and artists has been immense. This book by Charles Baudelaire's friend Théophile Gautier is an important early study of the poet. Gautier offers a biography of the poet, and looks at his work. In the second part, Guy Thorne translates a selections of Baudelaire's poems, including from his two best-known collections - the Flowers of Evil and the Little Poems In Prose. A group of letters from Baudelaire are also included, and an essay on Baudelaire's influence. --- Illustrated. 204 pages.

      Modern poetry begins with Charles Baudelaire (1821-67), who employed his unequalled technical mastery to create the shadowy, desperately dramatic urban landscape -- populated by the addicted and the damned -- which so compellingly mirrors our modern condition. Deeply though darkly spiritual, titanic in the changes he wrought, Baudelaire looms over all the work, great and small, created in his wake.

      The book presents a dandy who challenges utilitarianism, asserting that true progress comes from individual moral endeavor rather than societal norms. This figure, embodying both a keen observer and philosopher, delves into the human experience, dissecting reality with a critical eye. Rejecting the notion of mere consumption, he embraces a form of creative work that fortifies the spirit. Baudelaire's dandy-flâneur navigates society, reflecting its complexities and decadence, offering profound psychological insights that resonate with thinkers like Nietzsche.

      • 6 hours of reading

      In his introduction to Charles Baudelaire’s Salon of 1846, the renowned art historian Michael Fried presents a new take on the French poet and critic’s ideas on art, criticism, romanticism, and the paintings of Delacroix. Charles Baudelaire, considered a father of modern poetry, wrote some of the most daring and influential prose of the nineteenth century. Prior to publishing international bestseller Les Fleurs du mal (1857), he was already notable as a forthright and witty critic of art and literature. Captivated by the Salons in Paris, Baudelaire took to writing to express his theories on modern art and art philosophy. The Salon of 1846 expands upon the tenets of Romanticism as Baudelaire methodically takes his reader through paintings by Delecroix and Ingres, illuminating his belief that the pursuit of the ideal must be paramount in artistic expression. Here we also see Baudelaire caught in a fundamental struggle with the urban commodity of capitalism developing in Paris at that time. Baudelaire’s text proves to be a useful lens for understanding art criticism in mid-nineteenth-century France, as well as the changing opinions regarding the essential nature of Romanticism and the artist as creative genius. Acclaimed art historian and art critic Michael Fried’s introduction offers a new reading of Baudelaire’s seminal text and highlights the importance of his writing and its relevance to today’s audience.

      Published posthumously in 1869, Paris Spleen was a landmark publication in the development of the genre of prose poetry - a form which Baudelaire saw as particularly suited for expressing the feelings of uncertainty, flux and freedom of his age - and one of the founding texts of literary Modernism.

      “Baudelaire is indeed the greatest exemplar in modern poetry in any language,” said T. S. Eliot. We experience Baudelaire in myriad ways through his multifaceted writing. His sensuous poems—dreams of escape to an impossible, preferably tropical, elsewhere—draw us in with their descriptive and perceptual richness. There is also the bitter, compassionate, and desolate Baudelaire. Ultimately, Baudelaire’s true genius might reside in his expressive force and in the tension between his passions and intellect. The latter is most evident in his control of rhetoric and poetic form, and—given the poems’ density of language, thought, and feeling—his astonishing clarity. This new English rendition of Baudelaire by award-winning translator Beverley Bie Brahic includes poems from his celebrated Les Fleurs du mal, Les Épaves, Le Spleen de Paris, and Paradis artificiels . It also includes several of his prose poems, as well as an excerpt from his famous essay on wine and hashish. The poems in verse have Baudelaire’s French originals on facing pages; the prose poems, unaccompanied by their originals, are printed near the poems in verse with which they resonate. Complete with the translator’s illuminating introduction and notes, this beautifully crafted volume is an important addition to Baudelaire’s work in English translation.

Avec Baudelaire apparaît un nouveau type de créateur : celui qui s'est associé un critique, et un nouveau type de lecteur - "Hypocrite lecteur, - mon semblable, - mon frère !", qui doit collaborer à cette création sous peine de l'ignorer."

      La poesia di Baudelaire non cessa di apparire di una sconcertante modernità. Questi versi, nei quali fino a qualche decennio fa si tendeva a scorgere, sulla scia della leggenda post-romantica, il cantore del peccato, del satanismo e delle sensazioni squisite, rivelano oggi uno scrittore che ci manifesta tutta la sua novità interiore, il suo percorso spirituale, molto al di là del realismo romantico, delle evanescenze esotiche, delle ironiche fantasie grottesche. «La stoltezza, l’errore, il peccato, l’avarizia occupano gli spiriti tormentando i corpi e noi alimentiamo gli amabili rimorsi, come i mendicanti nutrono i loro insetti.»

Ihr Thema ist die Kunst und das Leben, das Leben vor allem in der großen Stadt Paris, der "Hauptstadt des 19. Jahrhunderts". Diese kurzen, stilistisch ausgefeilten und bis zu einer kaum sonst anzutreffenden Perfektion getriebenen Prosastücke, die nun in einer neuen Übersetzung vorliegen, sind von einer zeitlosen Modernität.

      Longtemps, la critique d'art fut considérée, dans l'œuvre de Baudelaire, comme d'importance secondaire. Aux éblouissements de l'inspiration poétique, ne pouvait-on pas opposer la nature essentiellement alimentaire d'un labeur que le poète, sa correspondance faisant foi, définissait comme " avant tout un remplissage de colonnes " ? Or, dans ces écrits sur la peinture et la musique, se déploie, en réalité, une pensée esthétique autonome, émergent une réflexion propre et un goût singulier. Avec les " Salons " notamment s'élabore chez Baudelaire le rapport spécifique qu'entretiennent perception, souvenir et expérience esthétique. C'est ici que naissent ces correspondances sans lesquelles il n'est, pour Baudelaire, de poésie possible. C'est ici que s'impose la nécessité de dire une même expérience esthétique - allégorique ou concrète, d'image ou de sens. Seule la lecture des écrits du critique conduit à l'intelligence de l'œuvre du poète. Esthétique et poétique se rejoignent pour célébrer le culte baudelairien des images.

    • Pubblicate dapprima in varie riviste e poi riunite, per la prima volta, in un volume che vide la luce nel 1857, le poesie "I fiori del male" provocarono immediatamente un enorme scandalo, tanto da indurre l'autorità a incriminare l'autore e a metterlo sotto processo per offesa alla morale. Frutto in realtà di un'arte sapiente e sottile, difficile e raffinata, la potenza evocativa, la profondità tragica e l'apparente cinismo della poesia di Baudelaire potevano infatti apparire un atto oltraggioso e deliberato nei confronti del gusto convenzionale della maggioranza dei lettori del suo tempo, decisamente spiazzati davanti all'arditezza di certe descrizioni e all'ostentazione di macabre perversioni che punteggiavano l'opera. Ben lungi dal rappresentare una semplice provocazione, le composizioni poetiche di Baudelaire, con la loro impietosa opera di scavo nell'animo umano, gettavano invece per la prima volta una luce vivissima fin negli angoli più tenebrosi dello spirito, rivelando il capolavoro di una scrittura passionale e intensa, destinata a rivoluzionare l'essenza stessa della letteratura poetica.

    • Charles Pierre Baudelaire (1821-1867) est un poète français. Il se vit reprocher son écriture et le choix de ses sujets. Il ne fut compris que par quelques-uns de ses pairs. Aujourd'hui reconnu comme un ecrivain majeur de l'histoire de la poésie française, Baudelaire est devenu un classique. Barbey d'Aurevilly voyait en lui "un Dante d'une époque dechue". Au travers de son oeuvre, Baudelaire a tenté de tisser et de démontrer les liens entre le mal et la beauté, le bonheur et l'idéal inaccessible (A une Passante), la violence et la volupté (Une Martyre), entre le poète et son lecteur (" Hypocrite lecteur, mon semblable, mon frère "), entre les artistes à travers les âges (Les Phares). En parallèle de poèmes graves (Semper Eadem) ou scandaleux pour l'époque (Delphine et Hippolyte), il a exprimé la mélancolie (Moesta et Errabunda) et l'envie d'ailleurs (L'Invitation au Voyage). Il a aussi extrait la beaute de l'horreur (Une Charogne).

      Testo originale a fronte. La prima edizione dei Fiori del male risale al giugno del 1857 e comprende cento testi poetici. È messa in vendita in circa 1100 esemplari, dagli editori Poulet-Malassis et De Broise. Attaccata da "Le Figaro", l'opera sarà sottoposta a sequestro e l'autore e gli editori, nell'agosto 1857, saranno condannati per oltraggio alla pubblica morale e al buon costume. Il volume verrà rimesso in circolazione privato delle sei pièces condamnées ed esaurirà la tiratura in un anno. Seguiranno altre due edizioni (l'ultima postuma) accresciute. La presente edizione segue il testo de Les Fleurs du mal tratto dalle Œuvres Complètes nella Pléiade (Gallimard 1975). Curata da Claude Pichois, l'edizione risulta ormai fondamentale e di riferimento per tutti gli studiosi baudelairiani. La traduzione di Prete è condotta "all'ombra delle forme metriche baudelairiane, anzi, persino, quando è stato possibile, all'ombra del loro ritmo". Prete ha cercato, in un lavoro pressoché ventennale, di testo in testo, un'analogia metrica, cioè la forma metrica italiana che garantisse allo stesso tempo una corrispondenza con il testo originale e una corrispondenza e plausibilità, nella nostra lingua poetica, della sua tradizione.

      'The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. . .' Rimbaud was sixteen when he made this famous declaration. By 1886, then thirty-two and an explorer, trader and slave-trader on the Red Sea, he had absolutely no interest in the fate or success of the poetry infused with mysticism, alchemy and magic that he had written in his teens. That same year, in Paris, Les Illuminations was being published as the work of 'the late' Arthur Rimbaud, first in a Symbolist periodical and then in book form, with an Introduction by his former lover, Verlaine. Seldom has a writer's vision of changing the world through words failed so spectacularly as did Rimbaud's. That failure turned him into an incomparable tragic poet: not only 'a wild undisciplined genius, a mystic philosopher and thinker, an inspired poet' but also, according to Enid Starkie, 'one of the most finished artists . . . a supreme master of prosody and style'. This Penguin Classic reproduces the text of the Pléiade edition, 1954, with selected letters and prose translations that have been highly acclaimed.

      Il consumo di sostanze stupefacenti ha un peso centrale nell’esperienza poetica ed esistenziale di Baudelaire. Quando scrive le sue pagine sull’hashish – di cui condanna l’abuso – egli non ha mai intenti moralistici, ma essenzialmente estetici. Quello che a lui interessa è il potenziamento della creatività poetica attraverso l’ebrezza artificiale; quello che lui odia e teme è il risveglio, è la desolazione, è l’inferno della degradazione. Si disegna qui il dramma personale di Baudelaire, la sua consapevolezza di essere e di sentirsi lacerato fra i due opposti richiami di Dio e Satana, fra l’aspirazione a salire verso l’alto, l’infinito, e il gusto del peccato, il piacere di scendere in basso.«L’uomo non sfuggirà alla fatalità del suo temperamento fisico e morale: l’hashish sarà, per le impressioni e i pensieri familiari dell’uomo, uno specchio ingranditore, ma pur sempre uno specchio.»

      „Ein Mensch, der nur Wasser trinkt, hat seinen Mitmenschen etwas zu verbergen.“ Wer Charles Baudelaire ausschließlich als Verfasser der dunkel-brillanten Gedichte aus «Die Blumen des Bösen» kennt, lässt sich ein wahres Lesevergnügen entgehen. In seinen geist- und pointenreichen Essays vergleicht Baudelaire die unterschiedlichen – und nicht gleichermaßen empfehlenswerten – Wirkungen von Wein und Haschisch, gibt jungen Schriftstellerkollegen Tipps zum Umgang mit Gläubigern, schildert seine Begeisterung nach der ersten Aufführung einer Wagner-Oper in Paris oder erteilt Ratschläge, wie man das Glück in der Liebe finden kann. In dieser exklusiven Zusammenstellung in Neuübersetzung begegnet uns der feinsinnige Ästhet als ironischer Lebenskünstler, als hellsichtiger Literaturkritiker und als wortmächtiger Protagonist der Pariser Boheme. Gebunden in dunkelroten Samt mit Glanzfolienprägung, ist der Band zudem ein bibliophiler Hingucker.

      At the time of its release in 1860, Charles Baudelaire's Artificial Paradises (Les Paradis Artificiels) met with immediate praise. One of the most important French symbolists, Baudelaire led a debauched, violent, and ultimately tragic life, dying an opium addict in 1867. This book, a response to Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an Opium Eater, serves as a memoir of Baudelaire's last years. In this beautifully wrought portrait of the effects of wine, opium, and hashish on the mind, Baudelaire captures the dreamlike visions he experienced during his narcotic trances. These hallucinations, sometimes exquisite, sometimes disturbing, and the delusions of grandeur that often accompanied them, constitute the Paradis Artificiels, the gorgeous yet false worlds of ecstasy that eventually led to his ruin. Contrasting the effects of hashish and opium with those of wine, Baudelaire concludes that "wine exalts the will, hashish destroys it" and makes idlers of all those who use it.

      Maestro del genere gotico, Poe fece della paura il suo tema per eccellenza, nonché lo strumento principe per la comprensione delle dinamiche psicologiche. Caratterizzati da un'inconfondibile atmosfera onirica e visionaria, i racconti di Poe racchiudono verità che risiedono oltre l'apparire: la visione non è reale, ma nonostante ciò è vera. "Coloro che sognano durante il giorno conoscono molte cose che sfuggono a coloro che sognano solo di notte", afferma in "Eleonora". Il complesso, sfuggente e sconcertante mondo che circonda ogni uomo, i misteri da penetrare per comprendere l'essenza delle cose, nonché lo sgomento radicale che questo genere d'indagine provoca sono gli argomenti da cui lo scrittore americano è ossessionato e da cui, spesso, nascono i suoi racconti. Che sanno ancora conquistare mirabilmente l'attenzione di chi legge.

      La poesia di Baudelaire non cessa di apparire di una sconcertante modernità. Questi versi, nei quali fino a qualche decennio fa si tendeva a scorgere, sulla scia della leggenda post-romantica, il cantore del peccato, del satanismo e delle sensazioni squisite, rivelano oggi uno scrittore che ci manifesta tutta la sua novità interiore, il suo percorso spirituale, molto al di là del realismo romantico, delle evanescenze esotiche, delle ironiche fantasie grottesche. «La stoltezza, l’errore, il peccato, l’avarizia occupano gli spiriti tormentando i corpi e noi alimentiamo gli amabili rimorsi, come i mendicanti nutrono i loro insetti.»

    • En este libro, Un comedor de opio , Baudelaire, a través del análisis de Suspiria de profundis , procura comunicar al lector el sentimiento de que De Quincey fue «no sólo uno de los espíritus más originales, más auténticamente humorísticos de la Vieja Inglaterra, sino una de las personalidades más afables y más caritativas que hayan honrado la historia de las letras». Desea justificarlo no por lo que no hizo, por lo que se le condenaba, o sea por no haber rendido servicios útiles a la humanidad, sino por lo que hizo. Baudelaire reclama para De Quincey la gratitud del hombre «realmente espiritual». Sólo por haber escrito un libro bello, y pregunta : «¿Lo Bello no es acaso tan noble como lo Verdadero ?»

    • Quatre nouvelles extraites des Histoires extraordinaires d'Edgar Allan Poe : une lettre volée qui met en péril un membre de la famille royale, un homme prisonnier d'un vaisseau fantôme où errent des âmes en peine, un veuf qui voit sa femme morte réincarnée dans sa fille, un gentleman victime de névralgie qui succombe à des événements d'autres temps... Denis Lavant et Roland Giraud distillent, chacun à leur tour, humour noir, mystère et effroi donnant à entendre toute la palette du génial poète, du polar précieux au conte fantastique. Accompagnant la narration, l'étonnante composition de Vincent Bouchot donne corps à des sensations éphémères, dessinent des images à peine évoquées, entraînant l'auditeur vers l'abîme.

      Gustave Flaubert's novel is a landmark of the nineteenth century, known for its influence and controversy. In this Penguin Classics edition, translated by Geoffrey Wall and featuring a preface by Michele Roberts, we meet Emma Bovary, a beautiful yet discontented woman trapped in a mundane marriage to a mediocre doctor. Longing for excitement, she immerses herself in sentimental novels and seeks escape through extravagant spending and affairs. However, her pursuits lead to disappointment and tragic consequences. Upon its publication in 1857, Flaubert's candid exploration of Emma's desires sparked moral outrage, with many women claiming to be reflections of her character. Flaubert famously stated, "Madame Bovary, c'est moi," asserting a personal connection to his creation. Born in Rouen in 1821, Flaubert turned to writing after an illness disrupted his law career. Although the novel garnered immediate acclaim, its frank depiction of adultery led to a trial for immorality, from which he narrowly escaped conviction. Despite limited success during his lifetime, Flaubert's reputation grew posthumously. If you appreciated this work, you may also enjoy Stendhal's The Red and the Black, available in Penguin Classics. A.S. Byatt praised it as "enchanting and terrible," while Kate Summerscale noted its innovative style.

      De Baudelaire à Saint-Exupéry, une anthologie de lettres d'écrivains adressées à la femme qui leur a donné la vie. Souvenirs, tendresse, promenades, contes de fées, l'heure du coucher... Baudelaire, Saint-Exupéry, Cocteau, Proust ou Hemingway, tous ont partagé ces moments privilégiés de l'enfance avec leur maman. Plus tard, les difficultés sont apparues, les désaccords ont parfois séparé les fils de leur mère, mais le sentiment irremplaçable d'un amour sans limites n'a jamais disparu. Ces lettres témoignent de ces histoires passionnées, des disputes et des réconciliations, des chagrins et des joies de quelques-uns des plus grands écrivains avec la femme qui leur a donné la vie.

    • Lorsqu'il meurt le 31 août 1867, à quarante-six ans, Baudelaire emporte avec lui, entre autres promesses déçues, celle de raconter sa vie - de venger sa vie. Les fragments qui nous sont parvenus de cette entreprise parallèle, de confession et de colère, se rassemblent autour de trois oeuvres en projet : Fusées, où l'intention autobiographique n'apparaît encore qu'en filigrane ; Mon coeur mis à nu, où s'affirme avec violence le malaise de l'ambiguïté - se tourner vers soi ou contre les autres ; La Belgique déshabillée, cette "pauvre Belgique" dont on présente ici le dossier complet et qui eût pris la forme d'un pamphlet dirigé contre les Belges et, à travers eux, contre le genre humain.
