Sommario/riassunto

Due to its incendiary subject matter, this gripping novel caused quite a controversy upon its initial publication in France in 1891. La-Bas follows the character of a jaded novelist who rejects the materialistic trappings of his era and immerses himself in the occult practices of the Middle Ages, which eventually leads him to dabble in Satanism.
