Through an analysis of his most lucid texts, the work unravels how the poet transformed the contradictions and ambiguities of urban life into subject matter for artistic reflection. The reader will find a critical reading that connects Baudelaire's poetry, journalism, and art criticism with the central themes of his time, offering a new perspective on his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from the death of Charles Baudelaire in 1867 to reconstruct his thinking on modernity, a concept that the author himself defined as ambiguous and elusive. The work focuses on Paris, the great capital of the second half of the 19th century, as the setting where the cultural changes of the era manifest most strikingly and contradictorily. Drawing from his contributions in poetry, prose, literary criticism, and journalism, the central themes addressed by Baudelaire, such as urban life, existential maladjustment, and material deprivation, are analyzed. The text delves into how the poet identified motifs and situations that became priorities of his reflection, offering an integral vision of his work and its context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eArtistic modernity and its contradictions in the 19th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe city of Paris as a stage for cultural and social transformation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of Charles Baudelaire as an art critic, poet, and journalist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between urban life, existential maladjustment, and artistic creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe analysis of Baudelairean texts as a source of reflection on 19th-century culture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students, researchers, and enthusiasts of the history of art, literature, and 19th-century thought.
