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.
