This study retraces the complex pathway of a disenchanted republican who, tempted by an anarchistictabula rasa, turns to anti-revolutionary Catholicism, hostile towards the modern world, and embraces a providentialist and conspirationist conception of History.
- By (author) Jean-Marie Seillan
Review - French Huysmans aurait meprise la politique, aurait ignore les debats et les crises de son temps. Pourtant, il suffit d'interroger ses lectures et ses amities ecclesiastiques, de relire les pages oubliees de ses romans et sa correspondance tardive pour en douter. Cet ouvrage recompose le parcours de ce republicain desenchante qui, tente par la table rase anarchiste, bascule vers un catholicisme contre-revolutionnaire hostile au monde moderne et epouse une vision providentialiste et conspirationniste de l'Histoire. Mais si "la democratie fait croire en Dieu", la frequentation de l'Eglise rend au converti desabuse le gout des valeurs republicaines.
