Bücher von Charles Baudelaire

Baudelaires Gedichtzyklus entwickelte sich nach seinem Erscheinen zu einem Skandal und sollte verboten werden, doch bis heute werden seine Gedichte begeistert gelesen. Sie kreisen um Tod, Abgrunde und Weltschmerz. Die in den Gedichten beschriebene Krise wird befeuert durch personliche Liebesbeziehungen und die grausame Erscheinung der modernen Grostadt. Die Motive, die sich durch den gesamten Zyklus ziehen sind: Tod, Wirklichkeit, Traum, Aufstieg und Absturz. -

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE --- POEMS IN PROSE --- Poems translated by Arthur Symons --- Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a celebrated 19th century French poet, author of the famous Flowers of Evil poetic sequence, first published in 1857. Baudelaire is a poet's poet par excellence, a brilliant craftsman who produced some of the finest poems in the French language. Baudelaire was known as a dandy who led a bohemian lifestyle; he knew many of the artists of the era (Manet, Nadar, Delacroix, and Gautier). Baudelaire's influence on subsequent poets and artists has been immense. This edition of Baudelaire's prose poems is a selection by British author Arthur Symons. The book includes two introductions to Baudelaire. --- With the French text of Baudelaire's poetry. Illustrated. 88 pages. Paperback, with a full colour cover.www.crmoon.com

In the 1850s, ancien and Haussmannian Paris clash, giving birth to a violent disjunction. At that moment in time, an other present is born, a new history, like Baudelaire's poet freely abandoning his halo on the macadam. The laurel crown has been discarded; the pastoral poet is dead; classical lyric poetry is dead. The steam-driven, gaslit, electrically-charged poet is born. "Retreat Academic Muse!," Baudelaire commands, "I don't care about that old stutterer." With Paris Spleen, we move toward a new rhythm, a rhythm born of the pace, speed, and reality of a metropolis hitherto never seen or experienced. It is the rhythm of the street, of the swift-moving eye, of overloaded senses and hyper-perception, of newspapers and optical devices. Baudelaire's life spans the essential birth of whole new forms of technology, including steam locomotives, gas light, and electricity, not to speak of the typewriter and the Daguerreotype. The dandy sees and moves with the coming speed of light. His life is one lived in the midst of illumination, mechanics, and simulacra. Baudelaire's Paris is a place of experience, a metropolis that spawns unique and particular realities, a kaleidoscope of visions and mirror of alternative societies. The grist of his poems is not ancient Greece or the Renaissance. As he stated in the so-called preface to Paris Spleen, it is especially from frequenting great cities, from the crossroads of their innumerable relations, that the haunting ideal of the prose poem was born. Our flâneur wanders swiftly through crowds, in contact, but anonymous, extracting from the city material to forge his new ars poetica, like a bricolage artist. The future is called forth. The street is the new Olympus; the phantasmagoric city is a big harlot whose infernal charm continually rejuvenates the poet. The ironic, infernal beacon is the totem of the new age: the age of dissonance, the age of artificial paradises. "I love you, O infamous capital!" the poet exults. Here is Paris Spleen, an invitation to voyage, to have the entirety of Baudelaire's Paris enter into our flesh and for us to undergo contagion, if our spleens can handle it.

Charles Baudelaires Liebesgedichte zeugen von seinen wilden Pariser Jahren: Während seines Künstlerlebens in Paris, das von Exzessen, Depressionen und Drogenmissbrauch geprägt war, verfasste Baudelaire auch Liebesgedichte. Deren teilweise explizit erotischen Töne waren damals nicht immer gern gesehen, faszinieren aber bis heute. Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) war ein französischer Schriftsteller und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten französischsprachigen Lyriker. Er war ein Pionier der literarischen Moderne in Europa. Bereits als Jugendlicher verkehrte er in Kreisen der Pariser Bohème. Seine Gedichtsammlung „Die Blumen des Bösen" machte ihn weltberühmt, auch wenn er wegen des als unmoralisch und obszön angesehenen Inhalts einiger Gedichte verurteilt wurde.

Le Spleen de Paris, également connu sous le titre Petits poèmes en prose, est un recueil posthume de poésies en prose de Charles Baudelaire, établi par Charles Asselineau et Théodore de Banville. Il a été publié pour la première fois en 1869 dans le quatrième volume des oeuvres complètes de Baudelaire publié par l'éditeur Michel Levy après la mort du poète. Ce recueil fut conçu comme un « pendant » aux Fleurs du Mal. Baudelaire y fait l'expérience d'une « prose poétique, musicale sans rythme et sans rime, assez souple et assez heurtée pour s'adapter aux mouvements lyriques de l'âme, aux ondulations de la rêverie, aux soubresauts de la conscience ». Le recueil de Baudelaire comprend les poèmes suivants : À Arsène HoussayeI. L'ÉtrangerII. Le Désespoir de la vieilleIII. Le Confiteor de l'artisteIV. Un plaisantV. La Chambre doubleVI. Chacun sa chimèreVII. Le Fou et la VénusVIII. Le Chien et le FlaconIX. Le Mauvais VitrierX. À une heure du matinXI. La Femme sauvage et la Petite-maîtresseXII. Les FoulesXIII. Les VeuvesXIV.

For sheer reading pleasure and fidelity to its source, this entirely new translation of Baudelaire's magnum opus is matchless. With admirable disregard for the fashionable cliché according to which poetry is fundamentally "untranslatable," Eric Gans works from the startling premise that the greatest French poet of the nineteenth century can indeed be rendered in English without significant loss of meaning or effect. His daring approach involves sticking as closely as possible to the French original, combining the translator's modesty with a remarkable poetic talent, in order to showcase not his own ingenuity but Baudelaire's distinctive vision. Poetry lovers and students of French literature alike will applaud the result. Trevor Merrill, Lecturer in French, California Institute of Technology

In April of 1864, Baudelaire departed Paris for Brussels with something of a massive shipwreck in his wake: his major work, Les fleurs du Mal, had been condemned and censored a decade earlier, many of his other works were out of print, and he pawned his prized Poe translations to gain much needed survival money. Fearful of being imprisoned for debt, the poet who was an outcast in Paris would soon become a pariah in Brussels. Not long after his arrival, rumors spread that he was a spy reporting on Republican exiles on behalf of the French police. While encountering a pestiferous city in the midst of redevelopment, and after failing to secure a publisher for his work, Baudelaire would begin writing notes for his projected book on Belgium. In his catalogus rerum of Brussels and the Belgians, the general overruling condition is one of blandness and dissolution: with observations ranging from those of a sociologist to an anthropologist, city planner, and aesthete, through Baudelaire's fleeting eye, we witness his examination of physiognomy, cultural and political customs, Belgium's fear of annexation by France, & more. Deemed a mean-spirited and even xenophobic book by figures such as Derrida, Baudelaire himself spoke of it as a sketch and satire that had the double advantage of being a caricature of the follies of France and a simulacrum of a Democratic state. As he attempted to complete his project on Belgium as well as other works, Baudelaire suffered violent attacks of neuralgia, then, in early 1866, he was plagued with more attacks, dizzy spells, and nausea. After a cerebral stroke, he was left hemiplegic and mute. In this veritable full-scale examination of every aspect of life in Belgium, Baudelaire's perspectival eye catches a world in a glance. The poet's plethora of notes and vast collection of related newspaper clippings (summarized within) reveal to us the inner workings of his mind, what Blake called the artist's Infernal workshop. Belgium Stripped Bare is an aesthetico-diagnostic litany of often vitriolic observations whose victory is found in the act of analysis itself, in the intoxication of diagnosis, just as great comedians exult in caustic and biting observations of society, a slap in the face of the status quo.

Les Fleurs du mal sont un recueil de poèmes de Charles Baudelaire, englobant la quasi-totalité de sa production en vers, de 1840 jusqu'à sa mort survenue fin août 1867. Publié le 25 juin 1857, le livre scandalise aussitôt la société contemporaine, conformiste et soucieuse de respectabilité. Couvert d'opprobre, son auteur subit un procès retentissant. Le jugement le condamne à une forte amende, réduite sur intervention de l'Impératrice ; il entraîne la censure de six pièces jugées immorales. De 1861 à 1868, l'ouvrage est réédité dans trois versions successives, enrichies de nouveaux poèmes ; les pièces interdites paraissent en Belgique. La réhabilitation n'interviendra que près d'un siècle plus tard, en mai 1949. C'est une œuvre majeure de la poésie moderne. Ses 163 pièces rompent avec le style convenu, en usage jusqu'alors. Elle rajeunit la structure du vers par l'usage régulier d'enjambements, de rejets et de contre-rejets. Elle rénove la forme rigide du sonnet.

Le classique de la littérature par Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du mal, est publié ici à nouveau pour le lecteur enthousiaste. La belle poésie, typique de l'époque moderniste, est inclus sans abrègement. Les six sections sont les suivantes: Spleen et Idéal Tableaux Parisiens Le Vin Fleurs du mal Révolte La Mort Au moment de la publication initiale dans les années 1860, Baudelaire a été accusé d'avoir violé les lois de censure. Il a été sommairement condamné à une amende, avec six poèmes incriminés ont été retirés de la deuxième édition. Cependant, ils ont été remplacés par trente-cinq nouveaux poèmes, qui cherchaient à préserver la profondeur thématique. L'éditeur est fier d'apporter le texte original pour le public moderne. Les Fleurs du Mal a bénéficié d'un grand nombre d'adaptations pour plus de cent ans, suscitant l'inspiration pour ses audacieuses, versets palpitants.

Les Fleurs du mal (English: The Flowers of Evil) is a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire. First published in 1857, it was important in the symbolist and modernist movements. The poems deal with themes relating to decadence and eroticism.This Bilingual English - French edition provides the original text by Baudelaire and its English translation by Cyril Scott.The initial publication of the book was arranged in six thematically segregated sections:1. Spleen et Idéal (Spleen and Ideal)2. Tableaux parisiens (Parisian Scenes)3. Le Vin (Wine)4. Fleurs du mal (Flowers of Evil)5. Révolte (Revolt)6. La Mort (Death)Baudelaire dedicated the book to the poet Théophile Gautier, describing him as a parfait magicien des lettres françaises ("a perfect magician of French letters").The foreword to the volume, Au Lecteur ("To the Reader"), identifying Satan with the pseudonymous alchemist Hermes Trismegistus. The author and the publisher were prosecuted under the regime of the Second Empire as an outrage aux bonnes moeurs ("an insult to public decency"). As a consequence of this prosecution, Baudelaire was fined 300 francs. Six poems from the work were suppressed and the ban on their publication was not lifted in France until 1949. These poems were "Lesbos"; "Femmes damnées (À la pâle clarté)" (or "Women Doomed (In the pale glimmer...)"); "Le Léthé" (or "Lethe"); "À celle qui est trop gaie" (or "To Her Who Is Too Joyful"); "Les Bijoux" (or "The Jewels"); and " Les "Métamorphoses du Vampire" (or "The Vampire's Metamorphoses"). These were later published in Brussels in a small volume entitled Les Épaves (Scraps or Jetsam).On the other hand, upon reading "The Swan" (or "Le Cygne") from Les Fleurs du mal, Victor Hugo announced that Baudelaire had created "un nouveau frisson" (a new shudder, a new thrill) in literature.In the wake of the prosecution, a second edition was issued in 1861 which added 35 new poems, removed the six suppressed poems, and added a new section entitled Tableaux Parisiens.A posthumous third edition, with a preface by Théophile Gautier and including 14 previously unpublished poems, was issued in 1868.

Collecting together eighty-six different pieces of prose from sixty-one authors, Decadence and Sybmolism: A Showcase Anthology, is the most broad-ranging anthology of its kind. Surveying the movements from their beginnings onward, the volume brings together texts from well-known exponents such as Rimbaud and Baudelaire, as well as numerous lesser-known authors, many of whose work is being made available in English for the first time.Editor and translator Brian Stableford provides an in-depth introductory essay, as well as brief biographies of the various personalities presented.Complete list of authors included:Charles BaudelaireArthur RimbaudThéophile GautierXavier ForneretThéodore de BanvillePaul VerlaineX.
