A rebours by J.-K Huysmans ( Book )

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."

"Le mal d'âmes ", comme disait Mallarmé, à la fin du siècle, et " le bizarre attardement, au Paris actuel, de la démonialité ". Gilles de Rais mène le bal par l'intermédiaire d'un historien, Durtal, assoiffé de surnaturel et dont l'initiation sera faite par l'épouse hystérique et perverse d'un grand écrivain catholique. Messes noires et invocations sataniques s'ensuivent, qu'organise un prêtre excommunié, le chanoine Docre, qui s'est fait tracer sur la plante des pieds l'image de la croix afin de pouvoir la piétiner constamment et dont les plus innocents plaisirs sont de nourrir les souris blanches avec des hosties consacrées. Dans ce monde du sabbat et du blasphème, la raison ne survit que réfugiée dans une tour de Saint-Sulpice, où la femme du sonneur de cloches mitonne à l'intention des rares rescapés de divins pot-au-feu
