A New Translation of `A Rebours' (Penguin Classics)
by Joris-Karl Huysmans, Robert Baldick
Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 1959 by Penguin Classics
ISBN-13: 978-0-14-044086-7, ISBN: 0-14-044086-0

"As Joris-Karl Huysmans predicted in 1884, Against Nature (A rebours) was fated to be a novel like no other. Resisting the models of classic nineteenth-century fiction, it focuses on the attempts of its anti-hero, the hypersensitive neurotic and aesthete Des Esseintes, to escape Paris and the vulgarity of modern life. Holed up in his private museum of high taste, he indulges his pleasure in fine art and literature. A compendium of fin-de ..."

"First published in 1880, same year as Edgar Degas' "The Dancing Lesson and Edouard Manet's solo show, these "Parisian Sketches share the Impressionist fascination with the contemporary life of Paris, the exuberant Paris of the Opera Garnier and the Folies-Bergers.

"French novelist Charles Marie George Huysmans (1848-1907) adopted the pseudonym Joris-Karl, or J.-K. Huysmans, for his novels, short stories and art criticism. His thirty-year tenure at the French Ministry of the Interior allowed him the financial and personal freedom to write as he pleased. In the same vein as his mentor, mile Zola, Huysmans' writings were largely naturalistic. Huysmans' novels were somewhat controversial at the time o ..."

"The first true flowering of Satanism in erotic art came with the Belgian artist Felicien Rops (1833-1898).

Pictures in this series such as The Sacrifice and Calvary are clear and explicit representa ..."
