Charles Baudelaire, lost his father since 1827, began his studies at Lyon in 1832 and continued in Paris, from 1836 to 1839. Her adoptive father, the commander Aupick, liberal discontent with life and often carrying the young libertine Baudelaire, sent him on a long journey to the West Indies between 1841 and 1842 (according to some sources, may have also come to India). Back in France, moved back into the capital and returned to his old ways disordered. He began to frequent literary and artistic circles and outraged all of Paris with their relationships with Jeanne Duval, the beautiful mulatto woman who would inspire some of his most brilliant and controversial poems. Highlighted soon as an art critic: Hall, 1845, his first work, has already called the attention of his contemporaries, while his new room, published a year later, brought fame to Delacroix (painter, then, still very controversial) and imposed the modern conception Baudelaire's aesthetic. A good example of his work as a critic are his aesthetic Curiosities, posthumous collection of his findings about the rooms, like romantic art (1868), a work that met all his works of literary criticism. Was itself a pioneer in the field of music criticism, which mainly emphasizes that earned favorable opinion the work of Richard Wagner, who considered as the synthesis of a new art. In literature, the authors Hoffmann and Edgar Allan Poe, which made numerous translations (still the only available in French), achieved, as well as Baudelaire, this cutting-edge synthesis, the same that haunted him in the Fanfarlo (1847), his only novel , and its various drafts of plays. Compromised by its participation in the revolution of 1848, the publication of The Flowers of Evil, in 1857, finally unleash the violent controversy that was created around him. Poems (flowers) were considered "offenses against public morals and decency" and its author was prosecuted. However, nor the order to remove six of the poems in the volume or three hundred francs fine imposed on it prevented a repeat of the work in 1861. In this new version appeared, in addition, about thirty-five previously unpublished. The same year as the publication of The Flowers of Evil, and insisting on the same subject, undertook the creation of Small prose poems, full version published in 1869 (in 1864, Le Figaro had published some articles under the title The spleen de Paris). In this period also saw the light of artificial Havens (1858-1860) and the painter of modern life, an article on Constantin Guys published by Le Figaro in 1863. Pronounced a series of conferences in Belgium (1864), where he traveled with the intention of publishing his complete works, but the project soon foundered for lack of publisher, which discouraged him significantly in the coming months. Syphilis caused suffering a first attempt at paralysis (1865), and symptoms of aphasia, hemiplegia, which would drag until his death, appeared with violence in March 1866 when it was attacked in the church of Saint Loup in Namur. Referred urgently by her mother to a clinic in Paris, he remained speechless but lucid until his death in August the following year. His correspondence was published in 1872, the Journaux intimes (Including rockets and bare my heart), in 1909 and the first edition of his complete works in 1939. Charles Baudelaire is considered the father, or rather, the great prophet of modern poetry.
