| Summary | "De drie steden: Lourdes" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a series exploring themes of faith, suffering, and societal issues through the lens of religious pilgrimage. The main character, Marie, is a young woman traveling with her father and the priest, Pierre Froment, as they journey to Lourdes, a site known for miraculous healings. The novel delves into the lives of the sick and the hopeful pilgrims seeking relief and spiritual solace. The opening of the novel portrays the beginning of the pilgrimage to Lourdes aboard a crowded train filled with sick passengers and their caretakers. Among them is Marie, who struggles with a debilitating condition, and her father, Monsieur de Guersaint, who provides care and comfort. The priest, Pierre Froment, is also introduced as he observes the suffering around him, contemplating the deep faith that drives these individuals to seek miracles in Lourdes. The atmosphere is heavy with a mix of hopefulness and despair as the characters, despite their physical ailments, cling to their dreams of healing and solace at the pilgrimage site, setting a poignant tone for the themes of suffering and belief that will unfold throughout the story.
