Jean des Esseintes is the last member of a powerful and once proud noble family. He has lived an extremely decadent life in Paris, which has left him disgusted with human society. Without telling anyone, he retreats to a house in the countryside. He fills the house with his eclectic art collection (which notably consists of reprints of the paintings of Gustave Moreau). Drawing from the theme of Gustave Flaubert's Bouvard et Pécuchet, Des Esseintes decides to spend the rest of his life in intellectual and aesthetic contemplation.

Against The Grain

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.
