Summary "The Three Cities Trilogy: Lourdes, Volume 4" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century that explores themes of faith, illness, and the human condition against the backdrop of the famous pilgrimage site in Lourdes, France. The narrative centers around the experiences of patients in the Hospital of Our Lady of Dolours, particularly focusing on Marie, a young woman who clings to the hope of miraculous healing, and juxtaposes her story with the tragic fate of other terminally ill characters around her. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Marie, who believes she will be cured on a specific day, eagerly waiting for the arrival of a miraculous event. As she remains in her hospital bed, filled with hope and joy, the atmosphere is tainted by the impending death of Madame Vetu, a fellow patient who succumbs to her ailments despite the fervent hopes of those around her. Zola vividly paints the contrasting emotions within the hospital, capturing the poignant moments of expectation and despair. The opening portion sets a powerful tone, engaging readers with the depth of human desires and tragedies while hinting at the larger spiritual questions surrounding the belief in miracles and the nature of suffering.
