Summary: "Paris" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Abbé Pierre Froment, a priest grappling with his faith and the reality of poverty in Paris. Through Pierre's encounters with various characters, including his fellow priest and the desperate inhabitants of the city, the book explores themes of social injustice, the struggle between faith and reason, and the challenges of charity in a time of widespread suffering. The opening of "Paris" introduces Abbé Pierre Froment as he prepares to conduct Mass at the Sacré-Cœur basilica amid a grim and melancholic Paris under a heavy frost. He meets Abbé Rose, who requests Pierre to deliver money to a starving elderly painter named Laveuve. This encounter stirs a sense of duty and conflict within Pierre, as he reflects on the tragic circumstances of those around him, the limits of his charitable efforts, and his growing despair over his lost faith. As he navigates a neighborhood filled with the despondency of poverty, Pierre's observations of the stark contrasts between wealth and misery in the city begin to evoke a deeper moral questioning about the nature of justice and the life he leads.
