Description: "Les Fleurs du Mal" ("The Flowers of Evil") by Charles Baudelaire. 1946; Editions Athena; Paris. Softcover with its original foil/cellophane wrap. Written entirely in French. The book features a color frontispiece and full-page illustrations in color. Limited edition - this copy is number 1,259 of only 2,000 copies printed. Considered an "insult to public decency" by French authorities, an action was brought against Baudelaire and the book's publisher within a month of the book's first publication in 1857. From a review...Baudelaire's "masterwork was scandalous in its day for its portrayals of sex, same-sex love, death, the corrupting and oppressive power of the modern city and lost innocence. 'Les Fleurs du Mal' remains powerful and relevant for our time."
