Summary: "Granadan ruusu: Romaani" by Jean Rameau is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores the inner life and struggles of a young monk named Lazare, who is confined within the strictures of monastic life and grappling with his past. The narrative delves into themes of love, loss, and redemption as Lazare faces the challenges that arise from his affections for a mysterious singer outside the monastery walls. The opening of the novel introduces Lazare as he digs a grave in the monastery graveyard on a calm September evening, a task dictated by the rules of his order. As a storm has recently disturbed the earth, he reflects on his seven years of silence, required of the monks who can only speak to animals and God. Lazare's routine existence is disrupted when he hears a woman's beautiful voice singing on the other side of the wall, prompting him to throw an apple to her in a moment of yearning. This encounter begins a chain of events that leads him to disregard the rules of his monastic life, setting the stage for a journey that intertwines his devotion to God with his emerging desires. This tension between his monastic vows and his longing for the outside world hints at deeper conflicts that will unfold throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
