La colline inspirée by Maurice Barrès
"La colline inspirée" by Maurice Barrès is a post-symbolist novel published in 1913. Set on the sacred hill of Sion in Lorraine, France, the story follows three brothers who revive an abandoned pilgrimage site. Their success attracts crowds and wealth, but a fateful encounter with an excommunicated priest transforms their sanctuary into a heretical stronghold. The novel explores the clash between spiritual freedom and ecclesiastical authority, between the mystical pull of ancestral
land and institutional order, as the brothers face the consequences of their divergence from Rome. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
