J.-K. Huysmans - A REBOURS - 1884

À Rebours - J.-K. HUYSMANS - Bibliothèque-Charpentier Edition. An exemplar of the emblematic work of the decadent movement, À rebours, written by Joris-Karl Huysmans. This volume comes from the famous Bibliothèque-Charpentier (Eugène Fasquelle, publisher, 11 Rue de Grenelle, Paris). Notable features and details: • Remarkable note: Bears the inscription “Dixième Mille” on the title page, evidencing the publication history of the work with the publisher. • Front flyleaf: There is an old handwritten ex-libris at the top right of the title page (“A d'Albu...”) and a period bookseller’s label glued at the bottom (“Achat & Comptant [...] Adolphe Cisneros, Livres & Musique, Bordeaux”), which adds historical charm and authentic provenance to the copy.
