Unnamed Pleasures: Essential Poems
Sinopsis
French poet, essayist, art critic and translator Charles Baudelaire inaugurated a new era in world literature - indeed, he coined the term modernity. This fresh translation of his best poetry, by eminent translator, poet, and novelist Philip Terry, lays bare the richness and the long afterlife of Baudelaires verse, and brings out all the originality of his ideas.
Here, in lushly visual and sonorous verse, we find themes that still preoccupy us today. Baudelaire captured life in the city like no one else, drawing a portrait of Paris as the ultimate glittering seductress - and also as a fragmented landscape peopled by isolated individuals. As much as an urban eyewitness, he was an incisive personal poet, vividly evoking the ebb and flow of desire: the joy of fulfilling it, the agony of feeling, and even worse, not feeling it. Terrys bold, contemporary translation style makes clear why Baudelaire, a century and a half after his death, is still the painter of modern life.
