"A fine, formal translation of the best poems of France's founder of the symbolist movement."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch "It's rare to find a rewarding translation of a masterwork, particularly a collection of groundbreaking poetry. . . . Through Shapiro's skillful wordsmithing, the reader can fully appreciate Baudelaire's control of the soul and the word which is the ancient and indefatigable ambition of all great poets. . . . Shapiro's interpretations set the standard for future English translations."--Virginia Quarterly ReviewMade with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
