Charles Baudlairer Lipika by Goutam Pal [Hardcover]

"August 31, 1867, the day Charles Baudelaire took his last breath on this earth. It is also the day the final bundle of 'Paris Spleen' was published. Frustrated by the moral police, Baudelaire started writing prose poetry 'Le Spleen de Paris' in 1857. He intended to create another world with all the surrounding excitement—the world's first subaltern poetry book. Until now, we have known Baudelaire as a poet of sexuality, but it is a great misconception that cannot be understood without this poetry collection in hand. In the poet's world, not only women but also how the prose-filled palace of society, from sidewalks, grandeur to widowhood, can become poetic in love and un-love is beautifully exemplified in this timeless poem 'Paris Spleen.'"
