ABBE MOURET'S TRANSGRESSION (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

"Ashamed and traumatized by way of a forbidden love affair, ABBÉ MOURET'S TRANSGRESSION, penned through Émile Zola, unfolds within the secluded confines of a provincial French seminary. This novel, a part of Zola's "Rougon-Macquart" series, revolves around the conflicted existence of François Mouret, a young priest. He falls prey to the repressive environment of the seminary and succumbs to a forbidden passion for a fellow servant, Albine. Their clandestine courting blossoms amidst a lush, idyllic lawn, symbolizing nature's defiance against the group's strict moral code. As the story progresses, Mouret's transgressions intensify, culminating in a fervent include of sensual pleasures and a rejection of his religious calling. Zola explores the human psyche's complexities, delving deep into the outcomes of suppressing one's goals and the charm of surrendering to the primal instincts. The novel serves as an effective commentary on the war among the natural, instinctual self and the oppressive constraints of societal norms and religion. In ABBÉ MOURET'S TRANSGRESSION, Émile Zola masterfully combines vivid imagery with a profound exploration of human goals and their outcomes, imparting readers a concept-upsetting and fascinating narrative that challenges traditional morality and sheds mild on the darker corners of the human soul."

Autor

French author, journalist, dramatist, and founder of the naturalism literary movement, Émile Zola also wrote plays. He played a significant role in both Alfred Dreyfus' exoneration and the political liberalisation of France. Dreyfus had been wrongfully charged and imprisoned as an army commander. In 1901 and 1902, Zola was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Zola was born in Paris on April 2, 1840, to François Zola and Émile Aubert. Before becoming a writer, he was a law student who twice failed the baccalaureate. In his formative years, Zola produced a large number of short stories, essays, plays, and novels. Hachette fired Zola from his position as director of the Paris Opera in 1864 after the release of his scandalous autobiographical book La Confession de Claude (1865), which attracted the attention of the authorities. Zola became a citizen of France in 1862. He met the seamstress Éléonore-Alexandrine Meley, also known as Gabrielle, in 1865, and she eventually became his mistress. On September 29, 1902, Francois Zola died from carbon monoxide poisoning brought on by a poorly ventilated chimney. At the time of his death, he was working on the sequel to his recently published book Vérité, which is about the Dreyfus trial.
