"This Dover edition, first published in 2018, is an unabridged republication of the English translation published by Three Sirens Press, New York, in 1931 [first edition: 1884]. A new introductory Note has been specifically prepared for this edition."--T.p. verso.

Translated from the French.

"In this 1884 novel, the last scion of a once-powerful family retreats from his bourgeois life in Paris to an isolated villa where he spends his days in intellectual and aesthetic contemplation. A classic account of the quest for enlarged experience and new sensations, Against Nature scandalized Victorian critics with its break from naturalism and embrace of fin-de-siecle decadence"--Publisher.
