A review by kristinasshelves
Paris Spleen by Charles Baudelaire

4.0

I found the quote by this author,"The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist" and knew I had to read this book. The writing is absolutely beautiful and lyrical. I especially enjoyed the lengthy introduction to this volume, as I had not much knowledge of Baudelaire or French poetry of tbe 19th century era. I look forward to revisiting this collection and reading more of his work in the future. I appreciated the stream of consciousness style throughout the poems, but also found them to correlate well together.
