The flowers of evil

Book • 1861
Publié pour la première fois en 1857, *Les Fleurs du Mal* est un recueil poétique qui oppose le « spleen » (la souffrance et la mélancolie) à l'« idéal » (la recherche d'une transcendance).

Baudelaire y explore des thèmes tels que la mort, le péché et la beauté dans le mal.

L'œuvre est considérée comme une pierre angulaire de la poésie moderne.
