From Edouard Manet to T. S. Eliot to Jim Morrison, the reach of Charles Baudelaire's influence is beyond estimation. In this prize-winning translation of his no-longer-neglected masterpiece, Baudelaire offers a singular view of 1850s Paris. Evoking a mélange of reactions, these fifty "fables of modern life" take us on various tours led by a flâneur, an incognito stroller. Through day and night, in gleaming cafés and filthy side streets, this alienated yet compassionate esthete muses on the bizarre in the commonplace, the sublime in the mundane. As the work reveals a teeming metropolis on the eve of great change, we see a Paris as contradictory, surprising, and ultimately unknowable as our guide himself. Complemented by period illustrations, The Parisian Prowler is an essential companion to Les Fleurs du Mal and other works by the father of modern poetry.--From publisher description.

Ce livre qui fut jugé extravagant et immoral lors de sa publication en 1860 ne saurait être une apologie de la drogue. Car s'ils transcrivent des expériences "Les paradis artificiels" touchent à la quête de l'infini : art poétique dissimulé, traité moral marqué d'anecdotes, ils sont la clé d'un monde où la volonté et la volupté entrent en concurrence.
