[Ebook reader of La Fanfarlo]Published for the first time in 1847, this short story by Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) combines personal experiences and literary homages (Balzac). From the game of adultery and amorous manipulations, a text imbued with irony emerges showing that by imitating passion too much we are often forced to truly experience it.Summary :A neglected woman tasks a friend – Samuel Cramer, a failed writer – with seducing her husbands mistress – Fanfarlo, an eccentric actress – so that he returns to her. But the hero is caught in his own trap when he really falls in love with the sultry actress...One of the young Baudelaires first texts, a fierce and ironic satire on the world of theater and literature, which testifies to Baudelaires eternal fascination - in a mixture of attraction and repulsion - for women.(Audio book)
