LOURDES tells the story of a four day pilgrimage to the famous shrine in the late 19th century from the point of view of an abbe who has lost faith. He accompanies a childhood friend and her father as they seek a cure for her paralysis and pain. The abbe no longer believes in miracles and this story is about the faith of those who have no where else to turn. Still powerful today, as many turn from a science-based medical establishment when it offers no cures, to faith healings which heal, if not always the physical symptoms, the anguish and pain of hopelessness, this book explores the hearts and minds of the faithful with respect and insight. Zola's descriptions of trains and hospitals full of the diseased hopeful are overwhelming to read. His mixing of the political, the spiritual and the personal is well-balanced and provides a great tale. You will find the story of Bernadette and the Lady of Lourdes here, but if you are looking for inspirational reading about miraculous cures, you should look elsewhere. This book is about the very human side of a place usually known only for its miracles. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
