Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The narrative follows Des Esseintes, a character suffering from neurasthenia, who retreats from Parisian life to his opulent country estate in Fontenay. There, he indulges in extreme sensual pleasures, crafting unique experiences like a "mouth organ" for drinking and cultivating exotic plants. His obsession with beauty and art, including music and poetry, leads to further deterioration of his health. Ultimately, his struggle culminates in a plea for divine mercy, reflecting the themes of excess and the search for meaning amid decadence in late 19th-century French culture.
