Against the grain À rebours by J.-K Huysmans ( Book )
107 editions published between 1922 and 2013 in English and held by 3,688 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Against Nature was fated to be a novel like no other. Resisting the models of classic nineteenth-century fiction, it focuses on the attempts of its anti-hero, the hypersensitive neurotic and aesthete, Des Esseintes, to escape Paris and the vulgarity of modern life

A rebours by J.-K Huysmans ( Book )
341 editions published between 1884 and 2014 in 5 languages and held by 1,857 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
La 4e de couverture indique : "La Bible de l'esprit décadent et de la " charogne " 1900. A travers le personnage de des Esseintes, Huysmans n'a pas seulement résumé, immortalisé les torpeurs, les langueurs, les névroses vénéneuses et perverses du siècle finissant. Des Esseintes est aussi un héros kierkegaardien, à la fois grotesque et pathétique, une des plus fortes figures de l'angoisse qu'ait laissées notre littérature. Fils spirituel de René et de la génération du mal du siècle, il annonce à bien des égards le Bardamu de Céline et le Roquentin de La Nausée."
