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.

读后感

我有人文版的网格本、世界文学名著文库本和一个印刷不成格调的平装本。但前两种印数少，网上被炒得价格奇高，所以这本“企鹅经典”版还算得上有格调，值得购买。 但此“企鹅”本没有收录钱先生对《恶之花》的介绍文字，有一篇陈建华的《“恶”声的启示》作为导读。也许这是钱...  

这个版本的翻译辞藻华丽，又极富音韵美，虽然还是充满宗教色彩的诗歌，却也没有文化差异带来的距离感，适合朗诵。 《恶之花》的世界是想象的夸张的世界，同时又是真实的赤裸的世界。宗教、神话、文学作品、艺术作品，这些都是波德莱尔的取材来源，时不时穿插一些光怪陆离的画...

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...  

《恶之花》的美妙之处，正在于那些血腥暴力、阴郁黑暗、强大牛X而又支离破碎的片段，让人反复穿行在阴霾的天幕，忧心忡忡那些不知何时会席卷而来的雷雨闪电，体味飞翔的速度中生存的快感，抒发一种不可言说的异样的情怀……《应和》是我对波德莱尔诗的第一印象，也是最深刻的印...
