Synopsis
Undeniably one of the modern world's greatest literary figures, Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) left behind a correspondence documenting in intimate detail a life as intense in its extremes as his poetry. This extensive selection of his letters--many translated for the first time into English--depicts a poet divided between despair and elation, thoughts of suicide and intimations of immortality; a man who could write to his mother, "We're obviously destined to love one another, to end our lives as honestly and gently as possible," and say in the next sentence, "I'm convinced that one of us will kill the other"; who courted and then suffered the controversy provoked by his masterpiece, Les Fleurs du mal ; who struggled throughout his life with syphilis contracted in his youth, near-intolerable financial restrictions imposed by his stepfather, and conflicting feelings of failure and revolt dating from his school days. Writing to family, friends, and lovers, Baudelaire reveals the incidents and passions that went into his poetry. In letters to editors, idols, and peers--Hugo, Flaubert, Vigny, Wagner, Cladel, among others--he elucidates the methods and concerns of his own art and criticism and comments tellingly on the arts and politics of his day. In all, ranging from childhood to days shortly before his death, these letters comprise a complex and moving portrait of the quintessential poet and his time.

    Very happy with purchase and the service involved. Description was more or less accurate, more pictures of any item in any listing is always a good idea. In nice condition. The seller made a good offer on the item, which in this case was a book. It was posted very soon after the purchase anf packaged nicely. Short time in post from Ventura, California to West Moonah in Tasmania - a little over two weeks. Probably only 21 days to arrive. Would recommend and buy from again. Thank you !!! 100% A+++

    The book arrived on time as the seller promised and the condition of the book is Brand New as the seller also promised and is in perfect condition. The packaging to the book itself was also great. The value of the book is, to me, great to those who love Dungeons and Dragons. The book is exactly as the seller described. I'm looking forward to reading this book and enjoying it.
