Produktbeschreibung

Grasping peasants and a crumbling chateau make life hell in the countryside. J.-K. Huysmans' Stranded (En Rade 1887), published just three years after the iconoclastic Against Nature, sees him again breaking new ground and pushing back the boundaries of the novel form. Stamped throughout with his characteristic black humour, Stranded is one of Huysmans' most innovative, most imaginative works. Jacques' waking reveries and daydreams are balanced by a succession of dreams and nightmares that explore the seemingly irrational and often grotesque world of unconscious desire, producing a series of images that are as unforgettable and unsettling as anything to be found in the decadent fantasies of Against Nature, or the satanic obsessions of La-bas.

Autorenporträt

J-.K.Huysmans (1847-1907) began writing as a naturalist in the style of Zola.His early works excel in their descriptive ability and he is one of the greatest authors in describing the life of Paris and its surroundings as witnessed by his Parisian Sketches.He changed from being an obscure author and art critic to one of the most famous authors of his day with the publication of Against Nature in 1884. His novel about Satanism, La-Bas (1891)is surely the cult novel of the nineteenth century.It is followed by three more Durtal novels which chart Huysmans conversion to catholicism.
