The Virgin had appeared to two children on a hill. By another coincidence, this Saturday was the eve of the Festival of Our Lady of Seven Dolours. And she appeared as Our Lady of Tears in that desert landscape of stubborn rocks and dismal hills. Weeping bitterly, She had uttered reproofs and threats. The fame of this event spread far and wide, frantic thousands scrambled up fearful paths to a spot so high that trees could not grow there. Sudde...

In 1891, the publication of La-Bas (Down There) attracted considerable attention for its depiction of Satanism in late 1880s France.

A Rebours (Against the Grain) (1884), was a break from Naturalism for the French writer, and became the ultimate example of 'decadent' literature. It features a single character, the aesthete Des Esseintes, an eccentric, reclusive antihero. It gained further notoriety as an exhibit during the trials of Oscar Wilde in 1895, during which the prosecutor referred to the novel as a "sodomitical" book.

Out of curiosity and to kill time, after so many years of forgetfulness, he enters a church and hears the Vespers for the Dead. Heavily upon his ears the music falls -- psalm after psalm, in antiphonal chant, as the singers toss up, like ditch-diggers, their shovels-full of verses -- and shakes his soul to its depths! Disgusted with life, Durtal turns to the church. Family history and his own atavistic feelings are among them the influences th...

Contra Natura es algo así como la biblia del espíritu decadente del fin de siglo XIX. Y, si damos crédito a lo que dice el propio Huysmans, «todos los fines de siglo se parecen», podemos creer que éste es el momento más adecuado para dar nueva vida, en nuestro idioma, a esta obra maestra de la literatura universal. Guillermo Cabrera Infante, para quien, al parecer, esta novela fue durante años libro de cabecera, escribió un hermoso prólogo, «A...

Huysmans was a French novelist noted for his vast scope of language, his sensuous descriptions and satirical wit. His pessimistic outlook showed a deep disgust for modern life. Des Esseintes is the main character. He is an exocentric antihero who despises 19th century upper=class society. Des Esseintes tried to create his own artistic world. This novel is an excellent example of decadent literature.
