*Les Fleurs du mal* est un recueil de poèmes de Charles Baudelaire, reprenant la quasi-totalité de sa production en vers de 1840 jusqu'à sa mort, survenue fin août 1867. Publié le 21 juin 1857, le recueil scandalise aussitôt la société française. Son auteur subit un procès retentissant. Le jugement le condamne à une forte amende, réduite sur intervention de l'Impératrice ; il entraîne la censure de six pièces jugées immorales.
De 1861 à 1868, l'ouvrage est réédité dans trois versions successives, enrichies de nouveaux poèmes ; les pièces interdites paraissent en Belgique. La réhabilitation n'interviendra que près d'un siècle plus tard, en mai 1949.
Le recueil est considéré comme une œuvre majeure de la poésie moderne. Il diffère d'un recueil classique où souvent, le seul hasard réunit des poèmes généralement disparates. Ici, les poèmes s'articulent avec méthode et selon un dessein précis.

A parallel-text edition of the poems of Baudelaire with a new translation which restores once banned poems to their original places and reveals the full richness and variety of the collection.
