Abstract
In the panorama of the reception and re-creation in Brazil of Les fleurs du mal (1857) by Charles Baudelaire, the anthology organized and translated by Guilherme de Almeida (1944) remains a source for reflections on poetic translation and its relations with affinity and the identification between translator and author, as well as between his conceptions about poetry. The present article seeks to demonstrate, through the rereading of the poet’s translator’s notes, his persistent illuminating potential on the characteristics of the notorious original work and the task of translating as a convergent dialogue between poetics and different languages.
