About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Cathedral by Joris-Karl Huysmans. (Translated by Clara Bell.) Read in English by Peter Tucker. It is the third of Huysmans' books to feature the character Durtal, a thinly disguised portrait of the author. He had already featured the character of Durtal in Là-bas and En route, which recounted his conversion to Catholicism. La Cathédrale continues the story. After his retreat at a Trappist monastery, Durtal moves to the city of Chartres, renowned for its cathedral. Huysmans describes the building in great detail. - Summary by Wikipedia
