#OnThisDay in 1857 Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal was published in France. The volume included almost all of Baudelaire's poetry, and ignited controversy due to its themes of decadence and eroticism. Six of the poems were censored, and were not allowed to be published again until 1949, and Baudelaire was fined 300 francs. Victor Hugo described the work as a "new thrill in literature." #HistoryGetsLIT

vivastory You should publish these once you have accumulated a year's worth of material 📚👏 2y

#NationalPoetryMonth Day 20: It is no exaggeration when I say that I could post a favorite poem daily for a month by exclusively French language authors. Baudelaire was one of my first loves when it comes to poetry, via Richard Howard's impeccable translations. He was one of the first to tackle the alienation & the malaise of modern life. He was roughly 70 years ahead of T.S. Eliot. Link to full poem:

Every time a book is featured on one of the Turkish Dizis that I watch, I feel compelled to purchase and read said book. This one made a brief appearance on Monday‘s episode of Çukur so naturally I had to buy it right away. ??

Reggie My mom watches these Spanish novelas that are actually Turkish soap operas dubbed in Spanish. And then her and my dad were hooked on this Turkish drama called Intergol that was something like 400 episodes. (edited) 3y
DGRachel @Reggie That‘s amazing! I watch them with English subtitles. My favorite is still running and is currently at 120 or so 2+ hour episodes. I‘m going to be devastated when it ends. 😂 3y

Currently reading this little book. It's easy to read and a great way to enter into Baudelaire's world.
