After the Satanic debaucheries of La-bas and the sensual battles of En Route, comes the cloistered calm of The Cathedral.

In this long, reflective novel, Huysmans' alter-ego, Durtal, sets out to explore the mystic symbolism embodied in one of the greatest gothic edifices in France, Chartres Cathedral. Written at the time of the Dreyfus Affair, a political scandal that threatened to tear France apart, Chartres Cathedral became for Huysmans a potent symbol of the harmonious diversity of the Middle Ages, one that had the potential to unify the divisions in contemporary French society.

This complex, multi-layered vision of Chartres Cathedral as a structure in which art, science and religion could exist in harmony rather than discord, captured the public imagination on its first publication, and The Cathedral became a runaway bestseller. In the back of the book you 'll find 20 photographs of parts of Chartres Cathedral mentioned in the text.
