Charles Baudelaire (1821 - 1867), a contemporary of Victor Hugo, is arguably one of the most influential French writers of all time. He was equally skilled in writing both prose and poetry and his subject matter was wide and varied. He had a strange life and was eccentric to say the least and spent time in India with the East India Company. All of these experiences plus his turbulent family life fuelled his talent and ideas as a writer. This book contains all his known work, skilfully translated by James Huneker.

Moving to America turns H&à's life inside out. For all the 10 years of her life, H&à has only known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, the warmth of her friends close by, and the beauty of her very own papaya tree. But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. H&à and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope. In America, H&à discovers the foreign world of Alabama: the coldness of its strangers, the dullness of its food, the strange shape of its landscape, and the strength of her very own family. This is the moving story of one girl's year of change, dreams, grief, and healing as she journeys from one country to another, one life to the next.
