Summary "Rakkauden uhri" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens in a small, sleepy town where the protagonist, Julien Mihon, leads a solitary life as a postal clerk. Struggling with his self-image, Julien is an introverted man who finds solace in his music, particularly playing the flute, but remains isolated and unaware of deeper emotional connections. The beginning of the novel introduces Julien's mundane existence, characterized by his routines and lack of meaningful relationships. He lives alone in an apartment, occasionally befriending a mute copper engraver, and finds joy in playing his flute. However, a significant change occurs when a mysterious young woman, Therese de Marsanne, returns home from a convent, disturbing his tranquil isolation. Julien becomes infatuated with her, despite his self-imposed barriers and low self-esteem. The early chapters set the stage for a complex exploration of love, identity, and the impact of class and beauty within Julien’s life, drawing readers into his internal struggles and romantic aspirations.
