The text captures the author's pilgrimage to the holy city, reflecting on the historical significance and the poignant beauty of Jerusalem, while also expressing a sense of loss and the passage of time. Through Loti’s eyes, readers are introduced to the contrasting emotions of reverence and disillusionment that accompany his journey, suggesting an exploration of faith, memory, and the ruins of civilization. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces his feelings of conflict and trepidation as he embarks on his pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He acknowledges the weight of history attached to the city while simultaneously expressing a fascination with its current state of desolation and decay. Loti describes his journey through places steeped in biblical significance, like Gaza and Hebron, bringing to life the pastoral scenes, bustling markets, and the landscape that evokes the simplicity of ancient times. As he approaches the holy city, a mix of reverence and melancholy permeates his reflections, showing his struggle between faith and skepticism, as he recalls an unfulfilled yearning for hope amidst the ruins he encounters.
