Über die Autorinnen und Autoren
J-.K.Huysmans (1847-1907) began writing as a naturalist in the style of Zola.His early works excel in their descriptive ability and he is one of the greatest authors in describing the life of Paris and its surroundings as witnessed by his Parisian Sketches.He changed from being an obscure author and art critic to one of the most famous authors of his day with the publication of Against Nature in 1884. His novel about Satanism, La-Bas (1891)is surely the cult novel of the nineteenth century.It is followed by three more Durtal novels which chart Huysmans conversion to catholicism.
Brendan King is a freelancewriter, reviewer and translator with a special interest in late nineteenth-century French fiction. His Ph.D. is on the life and work of J.K.Huysmans.
He has translated La-Bas, Parisian Sketches, Marthe and Against Nature by J.-K. Huysmans for Dedalus.
He has also edited The Life of J.K.Huysmans by Robert Baldick for Dedalus.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. J.-K. Huysmans' Stranded (En Rade 1887), published just three years after the iconoclastic Against Nature, sees him again breaking new ground and pushing back the boundaries of the novel form. Stamped throughout with his characteristic black humour, Stranded is one of Huysmans' most innovative, most imaginative works. Jacques' waking reveries and daydreams are balanced by a succession of dreams and nightmares that explore the seemingly irrational, often grotesque, world of unconscious desire, producing a series of images that are as unforgettable and unsettling as anything to be found in the decadent fantasies of Against Nature, or the satanic obsessions of La -bas. Hounded by creditors and gripped by a deep existential gloom, Jacques Marles decides to flee Paris for the countryside, hoping to find shelter from the financial storms raging around his head, hoping to find peace. But Jacques soon discovers he cannot escape the problems of modern city life by hiding in the country. Stuck with his sick wife, Louise, in an abandoned chàteau that seems to be rotting to pieces around them, Jacques waits for money to arrive with nothing to do but give himself up to his increasingly disturbing dreams.
