Diaries

Author's name: Charles Baudelaire Publisher: Al-Jamal Publications for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2015 Literary classification: Biographies and Memoirs Brief about the book: The truth is that Baudelaire whom we get to know in his diaries is the same Baudelaire whom we find in his poems and critical writings. His diaries begin with complaint and sadness, where he presents his narrow and boring life, while his spiritual horizons and purity appear. He is distinguished between his diaries and his poems in that he uses the fragmentation he suffers from in writing his poems, while he presents and discusses it in his diaries in a different way. In his diaries, the text turns into a workshop for preparing other texts or illuminating them. We get to know his creatures and watch them form, grow, and complete, while their owner continues to think and modify. Baudelaire's diaries show a special importance, such as the importance of a verbal mistake when it is made in writing.
