The poems of Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), united in the collection Flowers of Evil, challenged the literature and readership of his time with uncompromising individualism, acute attention to the "rubbish" of urban everyday life and the chaos of mental impulses that defy all norms. The poet, who sought official recognition and did not seek to be known as a revolutionary, by the will of history became the inventor of modernism, the author of the very concept of modernity, which formed the basis of the worldview and culture of the XX century. Literary historian Antoine Compagnon (b. 1950) has tried to capture the kaleidoscopic universe of Baudelaire's personality and poetic imagination in a series of "snapshots" from different angles. The chapters of this book, originally presented as short appearances on Radio France Inter, show the "poet of modern life" as dandy, socialist, Catholic, connoisseur of painting and photography, catching him in the company of friends, enemies, prominent contemporaries and mistresses, as well as, of course, in front of a mirror and a piece of paper.
