I don't understand French.

I really would like to read Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal. I was inspired by the Japanese manga with the same title, which in turn often references Baudelaire's work.

I do understand English, Japanese, Hungarian and Swedish. I wonder which translation of Les Fleurs du mal you would recommend.
