The Flowers of Evil, which T. S. Eliot called the greatest example of modern poetry in any language, shocked the literary world of nineteenth century France with its outspoken portrayal of lesbian love, its linking sexuality and death, its unremitting irony, and its unflinching celebration of the seamy side of urban life. The volume was seized by the police, and Baudelaire and his published were put on trial for offence to public decency. Six offending poems were banned, in a conviction that was not overturned until 1949.

This bold new translation, which restores the banned poems to their original places and reveals the full richness and variety of the collection, makes available to English speakers a powerful and original version of the world. Jonathan Culler's Introduction outlines this vision, stressing that Baudelaire is more than just the poet of the modern city. Originally to be called `The Lesbians', The Flowers of Evil contains the most extraordinary body of love poetry. The poems also pose the question of the role of evil in our lives, of whether there are not external forces working to frustrate human plans and to enlist men and women on appalling or stultifying scenarios not of their own making.

情诗只应有一位读者，那就是它箭头所指的爱人，不要说著书出版见报登刊，只要哪怕多经一位读者的目光，诗篇本身的目的性立马就会生出一圈令爱人不快的暧昧光环，正如婚姻上的忠贞，一旦配偶这一变量大于1之后，所有蜜语引起的荷尔蒙上升公式，都将被添上一个负号。 大诗人们流...  

写《恶之花》的著名诗人波德莱尔喜欢逛街。有一天他在巴黎街头游荡，忽然，有如一道闪电掠过，一位美女进入他的眼帘。诗人惊艳，并渴望惊艳变成艳遇，然而美女只是瞟了他一眼，就擦身而过。留下落魄的诗人，痛苦地写成下面这首诗： 《给一位过路的女子》 喧闹的街巷在我周...  

凌晨四点，合上波德莱尔的《恶之花》 身体被汗水浸着，手脚冰凉 我分明看见幽灵在房中飘荡 丑陋但却并不可怖 一具腐尸走了过来 躺下，与我同枕而眠 她身上的一块块尸斑，绽出一朵朵玫瑰 吸引着我，有与她亲吻的欲望 霎时间，腐气弥漫 卧室变成地狱 发黑了的血 充...
