3 quotes from Against Nature

  • "To be a man is to be in a state of an eternal war, an endless struggle against one's own nature."
  • "Art is the ultimate form of existence; it elevates life beyond its vulgarity and transforms it into something meaningful and profound."
  • "It is in the depths of solitude that one discovers the true essence of beauty and the futility of the world around us."

Author : Joris-Karl Huysmans

Joris-Karl Huysmans was a French novelist and critic born on February 5, 1848, best known for his influential works that delve into the complexities of modern life, art, and aestheticism. Initially associated with the naturalism movement under the tutelage of Émile Zola, Huysmans later distanced himself to explore a more subjective and introspective literary style, culminating in his landmark novel "À rebours" (Against Nature) published in 1884. This novel, often regarded as a manifesto of the Decadent movement, reflects Huysmans's fascination with beauty, sensory experience, and the struggles of the individual in a rapidly changing world. His unique blend of psychological depth, rich description, and philosophical inquiry has made him a pivotal figure in late 19th-century literature, influencing both contemporary and later writers in their quest to articulate the inner workings of the human spirit.
