With Baudelaire the way opens on modern poetry, in its poems there is anger, anger, he despairs until he was exhausted, impotent to fight against mediocre. In the midst of a growing and insensitive bourgeoisie, this great poet reacts against it, insulting it with ferocity. If Dante punishes his condemned with terrible but great penalties, Baudelaire punishes them with the cold contempt of a light allusion. Therefore, the main work of him: the flowers of evil (1857), was censored and six of the poems contained in this book were eliminated in subsequent editions. After published, the French Government accused him of attacking on public morality, and yet that the French literary elite came out in defense of the poet, he was fined and censorship did not rise until 1949. Among his pics are intimate daily , formed by two admirable confessions: rockets and my naked heart, both were published partially in 1884 and it was not until 1887 when the original edition arises 8AUQNUE incomplete for "moral" reasons), only until 1917 the whole version appears, in two volumes

This edition contains comprehensive these two heartbreaking and luminous confessions, with the splendid translation of Rafael Alberti, letting Baudelaire's intimate and secret virtues. Rockets is a set of notes, by other raw, with a psychological wealth, there are personal, religious, moral exhortations, transferring the psychological experiences of it to a universal philosophical plane, enriched these experiences with mordites and acute. My heart to the nude is of singular importance for the knowledge of the interior world of the author, are very diverse notes: observations of sociology and politics, moral sentences, as well as pious and exciting intimate confidences and advice.

Baudelaire's deep originality is in strength and essentially modern man, that is, today's man, as the refinements of an excess civilization, the modern man, saturated with vices ( Drugs, alcohol, etc.), but also the suffering man. "Does not intend to understand this poet in all the extension of him who has not submerged in these intimate newspapers," said Rafael Alberti.
