Sensual, macabre, joyous and liberating, The Flowers of Evil, or Les Fleurs du Mal, is a beautifully debauched reflection on dreams, sin, life, and death. With subjects ranging from travel to drugs, sex to faith, sleep to contemplation, Baudelaire finds new beauty in the most sinister and corrupt of situations. His morbid and nightmarish Romanticism was completely unique: cynical and bleak, but also inspiring. The book was highly controversial upon its release and Napoleon III’s government prosecuted Baudelaire for "an insult to public decency".

A Collaltino è dedicata la maggior parte delle 311 rime della Stampa (pubblicate dalla sorella Cassandra nel 1554 e dedicate a Giovanni Della Casa), che, concepite secondo il modello petrarchesco, costituiscono una delle più interessanti raccolte liriche del Cinquecento fra cui Arsi, piansi, cantai; piango, ardo e canto. Daniele Ponchiroli ha definito così queste rime: "Umanamente complesso, ricco di "moderna" psicologia, il canzoniere della Stampa, che la nostra romantica sensibilità ha visto soprattutto come un "ardente diario" amoroso, risente dell'inquieta originalità di una vicenda umana.

"Questa è la storia di un amore vissuto in mare, tra le onde, il vento ed il sole sulla pelle. Un amore che non chiese di sbocciare. Un amore che vi voglio raccontare..." È così che inizia la raccolta di poesie che descrive una storia d'amore nata per caso su di una spiaggia, tra due persone provenienti da due mondi diversi e nonostante le loro diversità questo amore perdurerà nel tempo nonostante tutto.

"L'autore è regista del suo scrivere, del suo saper trasformare ricordi in purezza poetica... Ammalia l'indole dei suoi pensieri, siano sentimenti d'amore anche sensuale, o sentimenti affettivi familiari. Leggere è osservare lo spirito che lo impregna di stupore, di ansia, di rimpianto, di acuta malinconia ma di un perfetto insieme con i sogni che sempre inseguono la sua realtà!" (dalla prefazione di Mariella Mulas).

Raunchy, risqué and rebellious, early Restoration comedies were a breath of fresh air for 17th century theatregoers. With Charles II restored to the throne in 1660, Oliver Cromwell's ban on stage performances was rescinded, and for the first time, women were invited to tread the boards as actresses. Playwrights developed a new style of social comedy, packed with amorous escapades, bawdy humour, wicked wit and sexual innuendo. This scintillating anthology showcases six leading lights of early Restoration drama.
