Heavily upon his ears the music falls -- psalm after psalm, in antiphonal chant, as the singers toss up, like ditch-diggers, their shovels-full of verses -- and shakes his soul to its depths  Disgusted with life, Durtal turns to the church. Family history and his own atavistic feelings are among them the influences that have brought him here at last -- but most powerful are the forces of art and music. Durtal makes a round of the churches during Holy Week -- \"and they open to him like palaces ruined, like cemeteries laid waste by God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joris-Karl Huysmans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603125280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603125284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aegypan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Joris-Karl Huysmans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938640134399,"sku":"9781603125284","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_653d990c-7c0d-4d99-92ea-0845874720b9.jpg?v=1681436880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/en-route-by-joris-karl-huysmans-joris-karl-huysmans-9781603125284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
