Features: Extreme personality led to Baudelaire's tragic life: as a bisexual, his first wife and the genius poet Rimbaud ultimately abandoned him; he was sentenced to prison for shooting Rimbaud; and he was imprisoned again for assaulting and threatening his mother. His violent tendencies stemmed from inner despair, and this despair gave rise to the sensitive and precious singing in his life. This book guides us through Baudelaire's painful struggles, delving deeply into the duality of his personality, thoughts, and emotions. Baudelaire's creative work is closely related to poetic schools such as the Parnassian movement, and the records of these schools in this book hold significant historical value.
