The Flowers of Evil: Gilded Pocket Edition

Charles Baudelaire was one of the most influential French writers of the 19th century. First published in his native language - French - and translated into English by Cyril Scott, The Flowers of Evil is a captivating volume of poetry that addresses themes of love, decadence, and death.

Baudelaire's darkly beautiful poetry and lyrical prose never fail to leave a lasting mark on his readers. Controversial and challenging, the outspoken nature of his poems marks him out as a pivotal figure in European literature - a bridge between the Romantics of the past and 20th-century modernism.
