CHARLES BAUDELAIRE: HIS LIFE --- By Théophile Gautier --- With poems translated by Guy Thorne --- Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a celebrated 19th century French poet, author of the famous Flowers of Evil poetic sequence, first published in 1857. Baudelaire is a poet's poet par excellence, a brilliant craftsman who produced some of the finest poems in the French language. Baudelaire was known as a dandy who led a bohemian lifestyle; he knew many of the artists of the era (Manet, Nadar, Delacroix, and Gautier). Baudelaire's influence on subsequent poets and artists has been immense. This book by Charles Baudelaire's friend Théophile Gautier is an important early study of the poet. Gautier offers a biography of the poet, and looks at his work. In the second part, Guy Thorne translates a selections of Baudelaire's poems, including from his two best-known collections - the Flowers of Evil and the Little Poems In Prose. A group of letters from Baudelaire are also included, and an essay on Baudelaire's influence. --- Illustrated. 204 pages.

Eine Chronik des 19. Jahrhunderts Julien Sorel, die Hauptfigur dieses Romans, verkörpert die revolutionäre Gesinnung des jungen Stendhal, dessen Widerstand gegen Zeit und Gesellschaft ihn zur Tartüfferie zwingt, wie auch seinen Haß gegen Klerus und Monarchie. Julien ist darüber hinaus Ausdruck jener Lebensanschauung, die die ›Jagd nach dem Glück‹, die Erfüllung des Strebens nach Selbsterhaltung und Selbstverwirklichung großangelegter Naturen jenseits einengender moralischer Schranken postuliert.
