books about: baudelaire     books:       The Flowers of Evil (Oxford World's Classics)22 reviews Charles Baudelaire Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 McGowan's Baudelaire Every translation of poetry is a compromise - on the one hand, the translator wants to "carry over" (the literal meaning of "translation") the poet's words and meaning exactly, but on the other hand, the translator also wants to create a poem that is as beautiful as the original! It is not an easy task. McGowan's 1993 translation, into rhyming and metrical English verse, leans to the "literal" ...             Baudelaire: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)4 reviews Charles Baudelaire Everyman's Library, 1993 Buy this now. the "Everyman's" series is the best stocking stuffers ever created. I am a bit of a Baudelaire buff, and I must say, this small version is perhaps my favorite. There is not much else to say. I have spent the time sorting through the poorly translated, badly misquoted versions of Flowers of Evil. Learn from my mistake. Pass by the frilly, big, seventeen color dustjacket editions and buy ...             The Beatrice Letters (A Series of Unfortunate Events)31 reviews Lemony Snicket HarperCollins, 2006 The Beatrice letters Personally I've always loved the series of unfortunate events and when I saw there is something more except the thirteen books I've hurried to buy it . It contains hints for the thirteen book but really , it was difficult to understand them all . It was rather complicating in my opinion but that's the style that Lemony Snicket is writing and it's very enchanting . Of course it's funny but if you ...             Paris Spleen (New Directions Paperbook)6 reviews Charles Baudelaire New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1970 Baudelaire Vents His Spleen at the Outside World The book that helped me overcome my prejudice against poetry--I carried "Paris Spleen" around with me for a couple of weeks after I first read it, and kept turning back to certain poems as I went about my daily errands. Even though it's nearly 150 years old it seems as timely and contemporary as it must have seemed when it was first published--absolutely top-notch.             Flowers of Evil and Other Works/Les Fleurs du Mal et Oeuvres Choisies : A Dual-Language Book (Dover Foreign ...5 reviews Charles Baudelaire Dover Publications, 1992 A "success de scandale"... "All the bourgeois fools who incessantly utter the words immoral, immorality, morality in art, and other silly things remind me of Louise Villedieu, a five franc whore who, when accompanying me one day to the Louvre - where she had never been - started blushing and covering her face; and pulling all the time at my sleeve, she asked, before the immortal statues and paintings, how people could put ...             The Writer of Modern Life: Essays on Charles Baudelaire1 review Walter Benjamin Belknap Press, 2006 Benjamin On Baudelaire It is difficult to review a book that, however important, one disagrees with so profoundly. Walter Benjamin, an early 20th century (between WWI and WWII) German socialist, is justifiably considered one of the most influential critics of Baudelaire. But reading his essays with an open mind (honest!), all I could think of was how silly those old-time, Marxist and Freudian notions appeared to me, ...             Les Fleurs Du Mal12 reviews Charles Baudelaire David R. Godine, 1985 creep close until you lie upon my heart Howard's translation of Baudelaire's masterpiece is not to be missed. This is the poetic decadence that began the belle epoque and influenced so much of what was to come in literature and the arts. Anyone seen reading this in public could be mobbed by attractive and intelligent members of the opposite and/or same sex: it has a libido boost that exceeds the music of Barry White. Go ahead, read ...             The Painters of Modern Life (Arts & Letters)1 review Charles Baudelaire Phaidon Press, 1995 Modern versus Contemporary critical reflections/debates on the Arts This book was a historical landmark in the beginnings of modern criticism, and is seen as a pioneering benchmark for artistic reference. Its relevance today is that its poetic language or vernacular manages to engage the reader in a strange relationship with contemporary art criticism, opening up all kinds of possiblities for the artist(s)/curator who wishes to broaden their historical frames of ...             The Vile Village (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 7)159 reviews Lemony Snicket HarperCollins, 2001 The Vile Village, Book 7 This book is probably my fourth favorite in the series. Like most Lemony Snicket books this was great. The Baudilairs get adopted by a town of their choice. They pick V.F.D. Village of Foul Devotees. They go because they are searching for the secret of V.F.D and they think this town will bring them closer to figuring it out. Many things stand in their way. Like the vile villan Count olaf. To find ...             LA Poesie: Guide De Lecture : Pour LA Preparation De 2008 L'Examen De Litterature Joachim Du Bellay, Louise Labe, ... Wayside Publishing, 2007 Study guide for the poetry section of the French Literature Advance Placement Exam. Updated for 2008 examination.             Complete Poems: Charles Baudelaire4 reviews Charles Baudelaire Carcanet Press Ltd., 2007 Evil Rhymes What I like best about this admittedly eccentric translation is the way Walter Martin renders the poems in rhyme. Baudelaire's extreme content--his embrace of putrefaction, filth, sadism and ennui as fit stuff for poetry--owes much of its impact to the tight, disciplined meter he chose for his medium. Most Baudelaire translations don't capture this classical edge in English, turning the poems ...             The Truth Behind A Series of Unfortunate Events: Eyeballs, Leeches, Hypnotism and Orphans --- Exploring ...9 reviews Lois Gresh St. Martin's Griffin, 2004 Not an unpleasant book but an informative one The claim on the back of "The Truth Behind A Series of Unfortunate Events: Eyeballs, Leeches, Hypnotism, and Orphans--Exploring Lemony Snicket's World" is that this volume is the "ultimate unauthorized companion guide to the facts behind Lemony Snicket's wild world." Since this is the only one I have seen it is hard to say whether that is hyperbole or not. What Lois Gresh has done in this book ...             The Parisian Prowler: Le Spleen De Paris Petits Poemes En Prose1 review Charles Baudelaire University of Georgia Press, 1997 good stuff i have several translations of le spleen de paris( in turkish) and want to say that these i have is not good in print, not well organized.but this book, with lots of painting of which painters baudelaire himself mentioned in his essays concerning modern painting and two are painted by baudelaire. a masterpiece is born from a masterpiece.             Les Fleurs du Mal Charles Baudelaire BiblioBazaar, 2008 Preface par Henry Frichet             Selected Poems from Les Fleurs du mal: A Bilingual Edition2 reviews Charles Baudelaire University Of Chicago Press, 2000 By far the best treatment Baudelaire has received in English Shapiro manages to capture Baudelaire's essence without sacrificing his form. These versions read like English poetry. They are the best I have read--and I have read them all, past and present. Highly recommended for admirers of Baudelaire and students of the craft (and art!) of literary translation.             Les Fleurs du Mal (Book and audio compact disc in French) Charles Baudelaire French and European Publications Inc, 2007             Baudelaire Rimbaud Verlaine: Selected Verse and Prose Poems2 reviews Charles-Pierre Baudelaire Citadel, 2000 poets of evil I think I have a better instinctual understand of these "decadents" who were the clear marking of the break between the old aesthetic rationality and the surrealism, symbolism, etc. that followed--those who actually blend the periods, smudge and blur the two worldviews, like Poe and Blake and, here, Baudelaire do. I like Baudelaire's phantasmagoria, his exoticism put in service of delivering a ...             Artificial Paradises: Baudelaire's Masterpiece on Hashish D. Baudelaire Citadel, 1998 At the time of its release in 1860, Charles Baudelaire's "Artificial Paradises (Les Paradis Artificiels)" met with immediate praise. One of the most important French symbolists, Baudelaire led a debauched, violent, and ultimately tragic life, dying an opium addict in 1867. This book, a response to Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an Opium Eater, serves as a memoir of Baudelaire's last years. In this beautifully wrought portrait of the effects ...              search for books artificial, baudelaire, beatrice, bilingual, charles, choisies, classics, complete, directions, dual-language, everyman, exploring, eyeballs, flowers, hypnotism, language, lecture, litterature, masterpiece, orphans, painters, paperbook, paradises, parisian, preparation, selected, snicket, unfortunate, verlaine, village books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
