| Summary | "Abbé Mouret's Transgression" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century, part of Zola’s significant "Rougon-Macquart" series. The book explores the conflict between religious duty and natural instinct, centering on the main character, Abbé Serge Mouret, who grapples with his role as a priest in a rural village in Provence, particularly the struggle between the celibacy imposed by the Church and his burgeoning desires. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the daily life of Abbé Mouret and the backdrop of his parish, Les Artaud, featuring the animated exchanges between him and his housekeeper, La Teuse, as well as glimpses of his innocent sister, Desirée. The priest’s routine is depicted with both humor and poignancy, showcasing his spiritual devotion alongside his growing awareness of the surrounding natural world. The descriptions provide a vivid sense of place, hinting at the tensions to come as the Abbé's encounters with the villagers and his unresolved feelings are foreshadowed, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of faith, love, and human desires in a stark rural setting.
