English The Dream Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_R%C3%AAve_(novel) Dagny, John Bickers, Roger Proctor and David Widger "The Dream" by Émile Zola is a novel written during the late 19th century, a period characterized by the exploration of human emotions and social conditions. The story revolves around a young girl named Angelique, who is alone and destitute during a severe winter in the small city of Beaumont. The novel delves into themes of abandonment, poverty, and the longing for belonging as it follows her difficult journey from hardship towards a potential new life with kind-hearted artisans, the Huberts, who take her in. The opening of "The Dream" vividly depicts a harsh winter scene where young Angelique, having fled from an abusive household, seeks refuge beneath the cathedral portal. We witness her frail state, both physically and emotionally, as she grapples with feelings of despair and fear. When the kind-hearted Huberts discover her, they extend their compassion by offering her shelter and sustenance, setting the stage for her gradual transformation in their nurturing environment. As her backstory unfolds, the narrative reveals the pain of her past and hints at her potential for growth and redemption within a supportive family structure. This initial encounter establishes an emotional foundation that raises questions about identity, belonging, and the human capacity for love in the face of suffering.
