The collection explores the themes of urban alienation and ennui, reflecting the struggles of modern life in a rapidly changing society. Originally published between 1857 and 1868, it faced legal challenges for obscenity, leading to the censorship of several poems.

Recognized as a significant figure in French literature, Baudelaire's contributions continue to resonate in the literary world.
