Summary: "Charles Baudelaire, His Life" by Théophile Gautier is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book intimately explores the life, character, and artistic journey of the influential poet Charles Baudelaire, highlighting his unique personality and the profound impact of his work on modern poetry. The opening of the book sets the stage for an insightful exploration of Baudelaire's early life and the first impressions he made on his contemporaries. Gautier describes their first meeting in 1849, where Baudelaire, then an emerging talent, is depicted with distinct physical features and an aura of dandyism. The narrative delves into Baudelaire’s relationships with influential figures in the arts and his struggles with societal norms, which informed his later works. Gautier also touches on Baudelaire's admiration for beauty, his fascination with exotic experiences, and hints at his complex personality shaped by both his innocence and the darker elements of his art. This introduction promises a richly woven depiction of a man whose life was as tumultuous and passionate as the art he created. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
