The Opposite.

No circulation

The novel "The Opposite" (1884) - "The Bible of Decadence", "The Quran of the Decadent". The work of Joris-Karl Huysmans was referred to in many ways, but its sacredness remained unchanged for people at the turn of the century. Here,... everything became a canon - the anti-hero dandy Des Esseintes, disillusioned with bourgeois morals, the absence of plot, hypertextuality - we read Apuleius, Mallarmé with Verlaine, and Poe - sensualism and endless enjoyment of art and beauty. This is the book that Dorian Gray reads, to aesthetics turn Russian symbolists, we see references in the work of Houellebecq. This book, in which life imitates art, not the other way around.
