Publié en 1857, Les Fleurs du mal de Charles Baudelaire, est un recueil de poèmes qui explore les thèmes de la beauté, du mal, de la mélancolie, et de la révolte. L'œuvre, souvent considérée comme un chef-d'œuvre de la poésie française, reflète les tourments intérieurs du poète face à une société moderne et aliénante. Baudelaire y exprime un profond malaise existentiel, oscillant entre fascination pour le sublime et attirance pour la décadence.

It survived Henry VIII’s attempts to destroy it (as a religious artifact) and a catastrophic fire that destroyed many other historical British documents.
