Les Fleurs du Mal 1857: A New Dual-Language Edition, Revised and Updated - Softcover

Considered by some critics to be the definitive translation to date of Baudelaire's seminal work of world poetry, this dual language book contains all of the poems that were published in the first edition of 1857. The thirty-five poems which augmented the second edition of 1861 are also included, after the main text. "I should like to congratulate John Tidball on his most erudite translations of Baudelaire's poetry." - Dan Kelly, Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques. "The translations here come closer to the original feel of the texts than any other versions I have read." - Annie Burnside, M.A. (Classical French Literature), Officier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques.
