Les Fleurs du Mal is a collection of poems published in 1857 that explores themes of beauty, evil, melancholy and escape. Baudelaire expresses an ambivalent vision of life, blending suffering and exaltation while addressing subjects such as love, death, decay, and the quest for the ideal. Through an innovative style and language rich in symbols, the work reflects the poet's inner turmoil and his desire to escape the mundanity of the world.
