Dà (c)gà (c)nà (c)rescence, Volume 1, by Max Simon Nordau, is a seminal work of social and cultural criticism from the late 19th century. Originally written in German and later translated into French, this volume explores Nordau's theories on the perceived decline of society and art due to factors such as urbanization, industrialization, and the rise of modernism.
Nordau's analysis encompasses a wide range of cultural phenomena, offering a controversial yet influential perspective on the artistic and social trends of his time. This volume provides invaluable insight into the intellectual climate of the era and remains a significant contribution to the study of social and cultural degeneration as a historical and philosophical concept.
