Book description |
"I fiori del male" il capolavoro di Charles Baudelaire, oramai considerato da tutti come li padre del Decadentismo e della poesia moderna tout court, raccoglie liriche straordinarie per la perfezione stilistica e la complessa varietà dei contenuti e dei temi. Si tratta di testi di una bellezza strana e misteriosa, di un'originalità tormentata ed angosciosa che talora suscita sgomento. Baudelaire è il poeta della sofferenza, della nostalgia, del rimorso, sempre alla ricerca di una perfezione pressoché irraggiungibile; ma anche tra i più lucidi, geniali critici dell'arte e della letteratura del suo tempo, capace di analizzarne e riconoscerne la potente carica simbolica.
