---------------------------------------------------------------- The infamous
inspiration for the novel which slowly corrupts Oscar Wilde's
Dorian Grayis translated by Robert Baldick with an introduction
by Patrick McGuinness in Penguin Classics. A wildly original
fin-de-si&#232clenovel, Against Nature contains only one
character. Des Esseintes is a decadent, ailing aristocrat who
retreats to an isolated villa where her indulges his taste for
luxury and excess. Veering between nervous excitability and
debilitating ennui, he gluts his aesthetic appetites with classical
literature and art, exotic jewels (with which he fatally encrusts
the shell of his tortoise), rich perfumes and a kaleidoscope of
sensual experiences. Against Nature, in the words of the
author, exploded 'like a meteorite' and has enjoyed a cult

following to this day.For more than seventy years, Penguin has
