Là-bas by Joris-Karl Huysmans, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Joris-Karl Huysmans's 1891 novel follows Durtal, a Parisian writer researching the life of the medieval child-murderer Gilles de Rais, who is drawn into the hidden world of occultism and Satanism in modern Paris, culminating in a black mass. Dark and controversial, it is a key work of the Decadent movement, for adult readers.
About this leather-bound edition
Our binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail. Every copy carries the small natural variations that come with real leather and handcraft.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
