About the Author
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a renowned French poet of the 19th century, a pioneer of Symbolist poetry, and one of the founders of modern poetry. He was hailed as "the Dante of a decadent age," and Rimbaud called him "the first seer, the king of poets, a true god." Famous for "Les Fleurs du Mal" and "Le Spleen de Paris," he integrated the hustle, solitude, and decadent aesthetics of urban life into his poetry, pioneering Symbolist poetry and profoundly influencing subsequent literature and art.
