内容简介
Set in a modern, urban Paris, the prose pieces in this volume constitute a further exploration of the terrain Baudelaire had covered in his verse master piece, "The Flowers of Evil": the city and its squalor and inequalities, the pressures of time and mortality, and the liberation provided by the sensual de light s of intoxication, art and women. Published posthumously in 1 869, "The Spleen of Paris" was a landmark publication in the development of the genre of prose poetry - a format which Baudelaire saw as particularly suited for express ing the feelings of uncertainty, flux and free dom of his age - and one of the founding texts of literary modernism.
