Baudelaire: Les Fleurs du Mal

Selected poems from Les Fleurs du Mal are translated with parallel French texts and are designed to be read with pleasure by readers who have no French as well as those who are practised in the French language.

Lise Jamati, Grand-daughter of the poets Georges and Cécile Périn, said "Your translations are marvellous poems in their own right, and yet always remain faithful… I'm very grateful to you for translating one of our best French poets so beautifully, and I don't think I've ever read such a good translation of poems."
