e.g. Mine would be:
- Jean Paul Sartre 'Nausea'
- Joris Karls-Huysmans 'Against Nature'
- Karl Marx 'Communist Manifesto' (although I'm not a Marxist)
- Sigmund Freud's works
basically I got an extract from this book which I have to analyse, but I have never read the book and dont have time to read it so I dont understand the extract. So it would be really helpful if anyone could give me a quick summary about the book and author :)
Ok, so I have the French edition of this book, and I'm trying to read it, but the first sentence is 'Deux heures du matin sonnerent.' (accent grave on the first e of sonnerent). Well anyway, to me this seems to say 'two hours of the morning rang.' But that makes no sense, so could someone please tell me what this is supposed to mean? Thanks.

I know it was practiced in late 1500s by Catherine de` Medici or in the 1600s by Catherine Monvoisin and Etienne Guibourg or in 1700s by the Marquis de Sade , and even mention by Joris-Karl Huysmans in his book , but realy , whats the name of the order?
Huysmans La Bas Livre Pate.
Nastie Pasties.
Les Enfants Terrible Matzos.
Twin Champagne Towers.
Mon Key Grette-Maitres.
Les Miser sans Balls.
Pot Luck Sir Prize.
does anybody know what part it is in the book, where his cousin (Des Esseinte's cousin), or some relative, hands Des Esseintes some flowers, and he says he can't tolerate the smell and sprays them with some perfume? Because this is the ultimate decheance and "a rebours", and I need it for my report. Give me the chapter and I'll be fine, 'cause there's so many versions of it out anyway. Preferably a quote from "Against the Grain". (The English translated version.)
