Joris-Karl Huysmans's 1884 novel, À rebours, follows the jaded aristocrat Des Esseintes, who withdraws from society to a house outside Paris to live entirely for art, scent, books and refined sensations, even encrusting a tortoise with jewels. The bible of the Decadent movement, it is believed to have inspired the \"yellow book\" of Wilde's Dorian Gray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this leather-bound edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title.
