In a masterly translation by Norman Shapiro, this selection of
poems from "Les Fleurs du mal" demonstrates the magnificent range
of Baudelaire's gift, from the exquisite quatrains to the formal
challenges of his famous sonnets. The poems are presented in both
French and English, complemented by the work of illustrator David
Schorr. As much a pleasure to look at as it is to read, this volume
invites newcomers and devotees alike to experience Baudelaire's
genius anew.
"A fine, formal translation of the best poems of France's founder
of the symbolist movement."--"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
"It's rare to find a rewarding translation of a masterwork,
particularly a collection of groundbreaking poetry. . . . Through
Shapiro's skillful wordsmithing, the reader can fully appreciate
Baudelaire's control of the soul and the word which is the ancient
and indefatigable ambition of all great poets. . . . Shapiro's
interpretations set the standard for future English
translations."--"Virginia Quarterly Review"
