Anotace knihy

Excerpt from Against the Grain It was obvious that the decadence of this family had followed an unvarying course. The effemination of the males had continued with a quickened tempo. As if to conclude the work of long years, the Des Esseintes had intermarried for two centuries, using up, in such consanguineous unions, such strength as remained. There was only one living scion of this fam ily which had once been so numerous that it had occupied all the territories of the Ile-de France and La Brie. The Duc Jean was a slender, nervous young man Of thirty, with hollow Cheeks, cold, steel - blue eyes, a straight, thin nose and delicate hands. By a singular, atavistic reversion, the last descendant resembled the old grandsire, from whom he had inherited the pointed, remark ably fair beard and an ambiguous expression, at once weary and cunning.
