Des Esseintes, is a neurasthenic aristocrat who has turned his back on the vulgarity of modern life and retreated to an isolated country villa. Here, accompanied only by a couple of silent servants, he pursues his obsessions with exotic flowers, rare gems, and complex perfumes and embarks on a series of increasingly strange aesthetic experiments. Charles-Marie-Georges was a French novelist who published his works as Joris-Karl. He is most famous for the novel À rebours (Against the Grain or Against Nature). His style is remarkable for its idiosyncratic use of the French language, wide-ranging vocabulary, wealth of detailed and sensuous description, and biting, satirical wit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spastic Cat Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411868835991,"sku":"9781612039114","price":1139.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781612039114.webp?v=1767444493","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/against-nature-9781612039114","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
