Baudelaire, Part the First

[brittlesmile]

So I just found a link that someone on abaissé posted a while ago to an essay that Baudelaire wrote on Les Misérables and for some reason I decided to try and translate part of it. This is my first real attempt to translate French into English and I'm afraid that parts of it are a bit awkward, but I think it's fairly accurate and comprehensible.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting that he seems to see Javert as the ultimate baddie (if I've read it right).

Yes, he doesn't seem to be very fond of him at all. /understatement
