Summary: "Pelléastres. Le poison de la littérature. Crimes de Montmartre et d'ailleurs…" by Jean Lorrain is a literary work likely written in the early 20th century. This narrative explores themes of artistic decay, societal hypocrisy, and the complicated relationships between men and women within the realm of literature and culture. The book's protagonist, Jacques Hurtel, presents a misanthropic view on the intertwined fates of literature and the people who consume it, situating himself amidst the vibrant but toxic Parisian artistic scene. The opening of "Pelléastres" introduces a reflective and critical tone as it delves into the fleeting nature of youth, beauty, and the illusions surrounding life and art. Through the character of Jacques Hurtel, the narrative sets the stage for an exploration of the negative influence of societal norms and the "poison" literature can produce. The text portrays a cast of eccentric characters, including a young man named Edward Ytter, who embodies the obsession with appearance and superficiality prevalent among the artistic elite. As the story unfolds, it juxtaposes the allure of the Parisian haut-monde with its underlying decadence, paving the way for deeper investigations into the darker aspects of human desire and the role of art in shaping those desires.
