Against Nature, also known as À rebours, is a novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans that epitomizes the decadent movement of the late 19th century. The protagonist, Jean des Esseintes, is a wealthy and eccentric aristocrat who withdraws from society to indulge in his extravagant and perverse tastes. Huysmans' novel is a vivid exploration of aestheticism, decadence, and the rejection of conventional morality.
