Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Cathedral, the third novel in Huysmans's Durtal cycle, is at once a narrative of spiritual apprenticeship and an encyclopedic meditation on Chartres. Its plot is deliberately slight: Durtal, newly drawn toward Catholic faith, studies the cathedral's sculpture, glass, liturgy, and Marian symbolism while testing the discipline of belief. Huysmans's prose blends decadent sensuousness with exegetical rigor, turning architecture into theology and medieval iconography into a living text. In the literary context of fin-de-siècle France, the book stands as a counter-modernist answer to positivism and aesthetic fatigue. J.-K. Huysmans began his career among the Naturalists, associated with Zola, before scandalously redirecting the novel toward the artificial, neurotic refinements of À rebours. His later conversion to Catholicism did not erase his earlier fascination with sensation, artifice, and spiritual malaise; rather, it transformed them. The Cathedral reflects Huysmans's own movement from decadence through occult anxiety toward sacramental order, and his learned absorption in medieval art and monastic devotion. This book is recommended to readers interested in religious literature, Symbolist aesthetics, architectural history, and the crisis of modern belief. It is demanding, digressive, and luminous: less a conventional novel than a pilgrimage through stone, image, and soul.…
