Summary: "The Three Cities Trilogy: Rome, Complete" by Émile Zola is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores the life and spiritual journey of Abbe Pierre Froment as he arrives in Rome, embarking on a quest that intertwines personal faith with the broader themes of social and religious upheaval. As Fr. Froment navigates the complexities of the eternal city, Zola delves into the political and social issues of the time, portraying a vivid portrait of Rome's past and present. The opening of the novel introduces Abbe Froment's long and arduous journey to Rome. Upon his arrival, he is both enchanted and disconcerted by the city's juxtaposition of ancient ruins and modern developments. The cab ride through various notable locations ignites his sense of wonder but also challenges his expectations. He reminisces about his experiences in Paris, where he devoted himself to social causes, and he is haunted by the lingering effects of personal loss and disillusionment. Zola sets the stage for a rich exploration of Froment’s internal struggles and the societal injustices that he aims to address through a renewed form of Catholicism, intertwining personal narrative with sweeping commentary on the socio-political climate of the era.
