    About this ebook

    'En Route' is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans. It follows the character Durtal, who was previously introduced in Huysmans's book "Là-bas" as a protagonist investigating Satanism. In "En Route," Durtal undergoes a transformation and converts to Catholicism, mirroring the author's own spiritual journey. The novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the struggle to find meaning in life.

    J.-K. Huysmans

    J.-K. Huysmans (1847-1907) changed from being an obscure author and art critic to one of the most famous authors of his day with the publication of A Rebours (Against Nature) in 1884. A Rebours is a ground-breaking novel which captures the decadent spirit of the day and marks his final break with Zola and naturalism. Dedalus have published 12 books by J.-K. Huysmans, 11 in new translations by Brendan King; Marthe, Parisian Sketches, The Vatard Sisters, Stranded (En Rade), Drifting, Against Nature, Las Bas, Modern Art, Certain Artists, The Cathedral and The Oblate of St Benedict. In addition to an old translation of En Route which will be replaced by a new translation by Brendan King in 2023. Robert Baldick's brilliant book The Life of J.-K. Huysmans was published by Dedalus in the autumn of 2005, updated and edited by Brendan King.
