Eliot to Jim Morrison, the reach of Charles Baudelaire's influence is beyond estimation. In this prize-winning translation of his no-longer-neglected masterpiece, Baudelaire offers a singular view of 1850s Paris. Evoking a m lange of reactions, these fifty \"fables of modern life\" take us on various tours led by a fl neur, an incognito stroller. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough day and night, in gleaming caf s and filthy side streets, this alienated yet compassionate esthete muses on the bizarre in the commonplace, the sublime in the mundane. As the work reveals a teeming metropolis on the eve of great change, we see a Paris as contradictory, surprising, and ultimately unknowable as our guide himself. Superbly complemented by twenty-one period illustrations by Delacroix, Callot, Manet, Whistler, Baudelaire himself, and others, \u003ci\u003eThe Parisian Prowler\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential companion to \u003ci\u003eLes Fleurs du Mal\u003c\/i\u003e and other works by the father of modern poetry. In the preface to this edition, translator Edward K. Kaplan explains how the volume's illustrations act as a graphic subtext to the narrator's observations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles P.
