Introduction · · · · · ·
Flowers of Evil is the famous and representative work of French symbolist poet Baudelaire, and it occupies a very important position in the history of world literature. The book is divided into seven parts: "Melancholy and Ideal", "Paris Scenery", "Wine", "Flowers of Evil", "Rebellion", "Death" and "Supplementary Poems". The theme of this book is evil and the relationship between good and evil surrounding evil. Evil refers not only to evil, but also to melancholy and pain, while flowers can be understood as good and beautiful. The poet broke the view of good and evil for thousands of years, and observed evil from a unique perspective, believing that evil has a dual nature, it has both an evil side and a special beauty. "Paris Melancholy" was first published in 1869. It is a collection of prose poems, which includes 50 prose poems. Its original name was "Little Prose Poems". In "Paris Melancholy", Baudelaire made a thorough satire and ridicule on the dirty and deformed real society, and ruthlessly lashed out and fiercely criticized the decadent secular habits.
