Sumario:At the end of the 19th century, when the reading of Charles Baudelaire began to spread and take effect in Mexico, due to the fact that most interested readers could go directly to the book in French, there were no complete translations of Les fleurs du mal; individual translations of the poems were not abundant either.

The following pages are an analysis of those three translations.
