Charles Baudelaire, born in Paris in 1821, is a titan of French literature, renowned for his groundbreaking poetry and incisive critiques. His magnum opus, "Les Fleurs du Mal," is a seminal work that redefined poetry, blending romanticism and symbolism to create a unique, modern voice. Baudelaire's life was as tumultuous as his art, marked by a complex relationship with his stepfather, a bohemian youth, and a deep admiration for Edgar Allan Poe, whose works he translated. His poetry, often exploring themes of beauty, decay, and the human condition, was controversial in its time, with "Les Fleurs du Mal" facing censorship for its perceived immorality. Despite this, Baudelaire's influence on modern literature is immense, making him a pivotal figure in the transition from romanticism to symbolism. His works, including "Le Spleen de Paris" and "Les Paradis Artificiels," continue to inspire and challenge readers today.
