Huysmans berühmtestes Werk, wirkend bis in die Gegenwart. Im Fin de Siècle »Bibel«, »Brevier«, »Glaubensbekenntnis«, »Ideen-Enzyklopädie«, »Manifest«, »Paradigma«, »Kultbuch« nicht nur für Literaten. In Oscar Wildes »Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray« (Orlando Syrg Taschenbuch, OrSyTa 122023) spielt es als »gelbes Buch« eine wichtige Rolle. Stéphane Mallarmé schreibt 1885 »Prose pour Des Esseintes«. Dieser Protagonist von Huysmans Roman, Jean Floressas Des Esseintes, ästhetizistisch dekadent, Abgott eines ganzen Zeitalters, letzter Repräsentant eines hochadeligen Geschlechts aus alter Zeit, reich, blutarm, nervenschwach, überaus empfindsam, marode, weltmüde, angewidert von der krämerhaften neuen Zeit, flüchtet vor der unerträglichen Realität in die Einsamkeit einer persönlichen, nur für ihn zugänglichen, weltabgeschiedenen Heimstatt, wo er seine künstliche Kontranatur in Exklaven auserwählter Geschmacksvollendung erschaffen will.

"The Cathedral" is a novel written by Joris-Karl Huysmans, originally published in French as "La Cathédrale" in 1898. This novel is part of the larger literary movement known as decadence and is a follow-up to Huysmans' earlier work, "Against Nature" ("À rebours"). "The Cathedral" continues to explore themes of decadence, art, and spirituality, but it takes a different narrative approach.The story revolves around the character of Durtal, an author who has previously been the protagonist of Huysmans' works. In this novel, Durtal is researching and writing a book about Gilles de Rais, a 15th-century French nobleman known for his association with Joan of Arc and later for his crimes involving child abduction and murder. This subject matter reflects Durtal's fascination with the darker aspects of history.Durtal also becomes interested in the subject of religious mysticism and decides to spend time at a Trappist monastery in order to explore his spiritual beliefs. As he immerses himself in the austere and contemplative life of the monastery, Durtal grapples with questions of faith, redemption, and the role of art in conveying religious experience.Throughout the novel, Huysmans delves into various philosophical and theological ideas, contrasting the decadent, materialistic world of late 19th-century France with the ascetic, spiritual world of the monastery. "The Cathedral" is a reflection on the complexities of human nature, the search for meaning, and the tension between art and spirituality.In essence, "The Cathedral" is a philosophical and introspective work that explores the intersection of aesthetics, religion, and the human condition. Through Durtal's journey, readers are invited to contemplate the role of art and faith in a world marked by decadence and uncertainty.

Joris-Karl Huysmans' book Against the Grain was first published in French as rebours in 1884.The piece embodies the decadence of late 19th-century French upper culture in both style and content. Des Esseintes, the main character, displays the crippling symptoms of neurasthenia, a broad psychosomatic condition that was popular at the time.Because of his health, he must temporarily leave Paris and move to his country estate in Fontenay, where he plots his route "against the grain" of everyday life. Des Esseintes creates a routine of exquisite sensualism while sequestered in luxury.He creates a "mouth organ" that he uses to drink "harmonic" liquor mixtures. He grows exotic plants and arranges to have a live tortoise's shell set with gems. Perfumes, monastery music, visionary art, and Stéphane Mallarmé's poetry are among his too polished interests. However, unchecked excess only makes his illness worse, leading his doctor to instruct him to return to Paris. Des Esseintes' request for mercy from a God he only loosely believes in brings the narrative to a close. Although the author wrote the book with a specific audience in mind, it has since become a reference on fin-de-siècle aestheticism.

À rebours translated Against Nature or Against the Grain is an 1884 novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans. The narrative centers on a single character: Jean des Esseintes, an eccentric, reclusive, ailing aesthete. The last scion of an aristocratic family, Des Esseintes loathes nineteenth-century bourgeois society and tries to retreat into an ideal artistic world of his own creation. The narrative is almost entirely a catalogue of the neurotic Des Esseintes's aesthetic tastes, musings on literature, painting, and religion, and hyperaesthesic sensory experiences. À rebours contains many themes that became associated with the Symbolist aesthetic. In doing so, it broke from Naturalism and became the ultimate example of "Decadent" literature, inspiring works such as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). In his preface for the 1903 publication of the novel, Huysmans wrote that he had the idea to portray a man "soaring upwards into dream, seeking refuge in illusions of extravagant fantasy, living alone, far from his century, among memories of more congenial times, of less base surroundings ... each chapter became the sublimate of a specialism, the refinement of a different art; it became condensed into an essence of jewellery, perfumes, religious and secular literature, of profane music and plain-chant."
