Exploring themes of religion and personal struggle, the novel delves into the protagonist Durtal's journey amidst the backdrop of 1880s Satanism. As he grapples with his faith, Durtal's perspective reveals the moral complexities of a modern world he finds repulsive. The narrative, marked by its naturalistic style, reflects Huysmans' controversial approach to social and political commentary. This edition features premium acid-free paper and presents a translation by Keene Wallis, enhancing the reading experience of Huysmans' thought-provoking work.
