Joris-Karl Huysmans

La Bièvre et Saint-Séverin

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

« La Bièvre représente aujourd'hui le plus parfait symbole de la misère féminine exploitée par une grande ville. Née dans l'étang de Saint-Quentin, près de Trappes, elle court, fluette, dans la vallée qui porte son nom, et, mythologiquement, on se la figure, incarnée en une fillette à peine pubère, en une naïade toute petite, jouant encore à la poupée, sous des saules...»

Autorenporträt

Charles-Marie-Georges Huysmans (1848 - 1907 in Paris) was a French novelist who published his works as Joris-Karl Huysmans. He is most famous for the novel À rebours (1884, published in English as Against the Grain or Against Nature). He supported himself by a 30-year career in the French civil service. Huysmans' work is considered remarkable for its idiosyncratic use of the French language, large vocabulary, descriptions, satirical wit and far-ranging erudition. First considered part of Naturalism, he became associated with the decadent movement with his publication of À rebours. His work expressed his deep pessimism, which had led him to the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. In later years, his novels reflected his study of Catholicism, religious conversion and becoming an oblate. He discussed the iconography of Christian architecture at length in La cathédrale (1898), set at Chartres and with its cathedral as the focus of the book.
