Book Description:
'There was only one living scion of this family which had once been so numerous that it had occupied all the territories of the Ile de France and La Brie. The Duc Jean was a slender, nervous young man of thirty, with hollow cheeks, cold, steel blue eyes, a straight, thin nose and delicate hands.' Thus we are introduced to the character of Des Esseintes in a novel that has been banned and censored for years, but still lives on as being one of the finest examples of the 'decadent' literature written by fin de siecle (late nineteenth century) writers. Oscar Wilde himself called the novel 'the Breviary of Decadence.'
