Título: Charles Baudelaire
Seção: Final years
Background: Baudelaire was born in Paris, France, on April 9, 1821, and baptized two months later at Saint-Sulpice Roman Catholic Church. His father, Francois Baudelaire, a senior civil servant and amateur artist, was 34 years older than Baudelaire's mother, Caroline. Francois died during Baudelaire's childhood, in 1827. The following year, Caroline married Lieutenant Colonel Jacques Aupick, who later became a French ambassador to various noble courts.

Conteúdo: Baudelaire next worked on a translation and adaptation of Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater. Other works in the years that followed included Petits Poemes en prose (Small Prose poems); a series of art reviews published in the Pays, Exposition universelle (Country, World Fair); studies on Gustave Flaubert (in L'Artiste, October 18, 1857); on Theophile Gautier (Revue contemporaine, September 1858); various articles contributed to Eugene Crepet's Poetes francais; Les Paradis artificiels: opium et haschisch (French poets; Artificial Paradises: opium and hashish) (1860); and Un Dernier Chapitre de l'histoire des oeuvres de Balzac (A Final Chapter of the history of works of Balzac) (1880), originally an article "Comment on paye ses dettes quand on a du genie" ("How one pays one's debts when one has genius"), in which his criticism turns against his friends Honore de Balzac, Theophile Gautier, and Gerard de Nerval.  By 1859, his illnesses, his long-term use of laudanum, his life of stress, and his poverty had taken a toll and Baudelaire had aged noticeably. But at last, his mother relented and agreed to let him live with her for a while at Honfleur. Baudelaire was productive and at peace in the seaside town, his poem Le Voyage being one example of his efforts during that time. In 1860, he became an ardent supporter of Richard Wagner.  His financial difficulties increased again, however, particularly after his publisher Poulet Malassis went bankrupt in 1861. I
