Summary | "En Route" by J.-K. Huysmans is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the spiritual journey of its main character, Durtal, as he grapples with faith, art, and the complexities of modern Catholicism. The narrative is soaked in introspection and rich descriptions of religious ceremonies, as well as reflections on the intersection of art and spirituality. The opening of "En Route" introduces us to Durtal as he enters the church of St. Sulpice, seeking solitude and a space for self-reflection amidst the chaos of modern life. He contemplates the state of the clergy, the music of the church, and the depth and beauty of the liturgical chants that move him profoundly. Through his observations, we see Durtal's internal struggle with his newfound faith, his memories of the past, and his heightened senses as he begins to reconcile his artistic inclinations with his spiritual beliefs. This exploration sets the stage for a deeper inquiry into the nature of Catholicism and its role in a rapidly changing world. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
