Lourdes (Las tres cuidades) (Spanish Edition)
Description:
In the midst of a crisis of faith, the abbot Pierre Froment journeys to the south of France on a quest for answers. Froment's internal struggle is representative of the conflict between science and religion that took place throughout Europe and defined the dawn of modernity in the late-19th century. Froment sets out on a pilgrimage towards Lourdes, a town in the foothills of the Pyrenees, and as the reader accompanies him, the European masses acquire an almost abstract quality, a mind and soul of their own beyond man himself, towards mysticism, faith, suffering, and hope. In a time of positivism and reason, Émile Zola makes room for illusion, lies, and miracles. En medio de una crisis de fe, el abate Pierre Froment se encamina hacia el sur de Francia para encontrar respuestas. La lucha interna de Froment es representativa del conflicto entre la ciencia y la religión que ocurrió en Europa y que definió el origen de la modernidad a finales del siglo XIX. Froment comienza su peregrinaje hacia Lourdes, un pueblo en las colinas de los Pirineos, y mientras el lector lo acompaña, las masas europeas adquieren una cualidad casi abstracta, una mente y un alma más allá que la del hombre, hacia el misticismo, la fe, el sufrimiento y la esperanza. En una época de positivismo y razón, Émile Zola le da una oportunidad a la ilusión, las mentiras y los milagros.
