Flower of Evil
by (france) Charles Baudelaire
About This Novel
"Flowers of Evil" is a collection of poems by Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). It is a book with logic, structure, beginning and end, and a coherent whole. "Flowers of Evil" is known as "a strange flower blooming" in France's transitional period when "the great tradition has disappeared and new traditions have not yet been formed". The work combines the characteristics of romanticism, symbolism and realism. The poems in "Flowers of Evil" are not arranged according to the year of writing, but are divided into six poetry groups based on content and theme, each with a title: "Melancholy and Ideals", "Paris Scene", "Wine", "Flowers of Evil", "Resistance" and "Death", among which "Melancholy and Ideals" is the most important. The arrangement of the six parts actually draws the trajectory of the conflict between melancholy and ideals. This edition also includes the 1868 supplement to the third edition of "Flowers of Evil", "Collection of Fragmented Poems", "Collection of Romance", "Collection of Inscriptions" and "Collection of Jokes".
