Laurent Vogel (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)) "Le signe sur les mains : roman" by Émile Baumann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around a young man named Jérôme who is grappling with the complexities of faith, vocation, and love against the backdrop of a religious ceremony, specifically the ordination of clergymen. It explores themes of sacrifice, obligation, and the internal conflicts that arise when personal desires clash with perceived divine calls. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jérôme as he attends the solemn ceremony of ordination in a chapel, reflecting on his own life, experiences of war, and the memory of a deceased friend named Montcalm, who had aspired to become a priest. As Jérôme watches the ordinands take vows of service and sacrifice, he becomes introspective, questioning his own vocation and the meaning of his promise to Montcalm. He is torn between a desire for freedom and the weight of responsibility, complicated further by his budding feelings for two young women, Agnès and Antoinette. This rich opening sets the stage for an exploration of faith, identity, and the choices that shape one’s destiny.
