About this listen

The Generous Gambler

By Charles Baudelaire

Translated by Arthur Symons

Read by Martin Gooding

The devil always held a fascination for decadent poet Charles Baudelaire.

In this brief morality tale, the author sells his soul for good fortune, and, ironically, for relief from the crushing sense of ennui that traditionally accompanies an indulgent lifestyle.
