| Summary | "De drie steden: Rome" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Pierre Froment, a young priest, who arrives in Rome after a tiring journey, filled with a mix of excitement and introspection. As he navigates the streets of this historic city, he becomes increasingly aware of the contrast between the majestic beauty of Rome and the dire poverty affecting many of its inhabitants. The novel explores themes of faith, societal inequality, and the struggle for personal redemption against a backdrop of a city steeped in history. The opening of the novel introduces Pierre Froment as he arrives in Rome, eager to absorb the sights and sounds of the city that has captured his imagination. Upon his arrival, Pierre's initial wonder is soon intertwined with memories of his past challenges, including personal loss and moral dilemmas faced during his years of service. His encounter with various landmarks, like the Trajanus column and the Quirinal Palace, evokes a deep sense of pride and disappointment as he reflects on the disparity between the grand history of Rome and the social issues that plague its modern society. Through Pierre's exploration—both of the city's geography and of his own faith—the narrative sets the stage for an engaging exploration of spiritual and social themes.
