About this ebook
Unlock the more straightforward side of Là-bas with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!
This engaging summary presents an analysis of Là-bas by Joris-Karl Huysmans, a book so shocking that it was banned from being sold in certain locations. It is not difficult to understand why – a novel following the spiritual journey of a writer interested in Satanism would have been too much for polite society to handle, all the more so since the protagonist in question appears to be a reflection of the author himself. Indeed, Joris-Karl Huysmans went through a crisis of faith in his lifetime, dabbling in Satanism before turning to God. He documented his journey in his Durtal quadrilogy, which includes Là-bas. The novel caused a scandal when it was first published in 1891, and many readers of the time called for the editor to halt its publication. However, they were ignored, and Là-bas continues to be published to this day.
