RECOMMENDED BY THE NATIONAL READING PLAN
«Esta é uma nova tradução de Le Spleen de Paris, de Charles Baudelaire, obra editada em 1869, dois anos depois da morte do poeta, que a concebeu como uma série complementar de Les Fleurs du Mal.
Os poemas em prosa de O Spleen de Paris procuram captar e decifrar o tumulto e a melancolia da moderna vida urbana, feita de profundas transformações na geografia humana e na expressão da sensibilidade, prestando uma especial atenção aos excluídos do progresso, em que o próprio poeta se revê.
Para Baudelaire, o poeta é o «solitário dotado de uma imaginação activa, sempre viajando através do grande deserto de homens», tendo «um objectivo mais alto que o de um puro flâneur, um objectivo mais geral, que não o prazer fugidio da circunstância». Ele procura mostrar os versos e reversos da modernidade, articulando beleza estética e violência simbólica, e tendo sempre em mente um desígnio maior: extrair a beleza do Mal, o ouro da lama, «o eterno do transitório».»

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Charles Baudelaire

Baudelaire was born in Paris on April 9, 1821, the son of François Baudelaire and the young Caroline. After her husband's death in 1827, she married Commander Aupick, later a general and French ambassador to Spain, with whom Baudelaire would soon become incompatible. When he reaches the age of majority, he claims his paternal inheritance, which he will squander, consumes opium and hashish (an experience that is at the origin of The Artificial Paradises, from 1860) and has a relationship with the actress Jeanne Duval. Known mainly for his poetry, Baudelaire also wrote literary and artistic criticism, essays, novels and translations, of which a substantial part of Edgar Alan Poe's work stands out. His books The Painter of Modern Life (1863), the posthumous work The Spleen of Paris (1869) or The Flowers of Evil (1857), a masterpiece of modern poetry that scandalized French society at the time and condemned the author to the dock, remained for posterity. With his health already weakened by syphilis, Baudelaire was paralyzed after a fall in the church of St. Loup, eventually dying years later, on August 31, 1867.
