| Résumé : | Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans, which traces the protagonist Duc Jean Floressas des Esseintes' attempts to escape what he sees as the mediocrity and materialism of the society he lives in. However, his self-imposed isolation does not give him the freedom he hoped for, and his declining physical and mental health plunge him into despair and eventually force him to return to society, where he knows that he will never be happy. Joris-Karl Huysmans began his career as a follower of Émile Zola and naturalism, before rejecting the tenets of that movement to create the meandering, thought-provoking novels for which he is remembered. |
