{"product_id":"the-flowers-of-evil-dual-language-and-new-verse-translation","title":"The Flowers of Evil: Dual Language and New Verse Translation","description":"Unique edition in dual language\n\nJudicially condemned in 1857 as offensive to public morality, The Flowers of Evil is now regarded as the most influential volume of poetry published in the nineteenth century. Torn between intense sensuality and profound spiritual yearning, racked by debt and disease, Baudelaire transformed his own experience of Parisian life into a work of universal significance. With his unflinching examination of the dark aspects and unconventional manifestations of sexuality, his pioneering portrayal of life in a great metropolis and his daring combination of the lyrical and the prosaic, Baudelaire inaugurated a new epoch in poetry and created a founding text of modernism.\n\nAnthony Mortimer, already praised for his virtuoso translations of Petrarch, Dante and Villon, has produced a new version that not only respects the sense and the form of the original French, but also makes powerful English poetry in its own right.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1847495745\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1847495745.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mortimer, Anthony|Baudelaire, Charles\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass market paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
