I don’t understand French.
I really would like to read Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal. I was inspired by the Japanese manga with the same title, which in turn often references Baudelaire’s work.
I do understand English, Japanese, Hungarian and Swedish. I wonder which translation of Les Fleurs du mal you would recommend.


There a lot to choose from! I haven’t read this translation myself but I know people who have and say its very good - the Richard Howard edition: https://www.tfobooks.com/book/9781567928273
Thank you very much! I’ll keep this one in mind as I peruse my local library.
They ordered it for me from a library on the other side of the country. I’m HYPED.
