Rome
by Emile Zola
'Rome' Summary
The Abbe Pierre Froment, a young and idealistic priest, travels to Rome to defend his book, which expresses a vision of a new and enlightened papacy. During his three-month stay in Rome, Froment has the opportunity to reflect on the historical position of the "Eternal City", as well as its future and that of the Roman Catholic Church. He encounters a cast of fascinating characters, including aristocrats, cardinals, and other members of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, and becomes deeply affected by a dark intrigue that unfolds around him. As Froment delves deeper into the complexities of Rome, his own faith is tested, and he ultimately returns to Paris with a revised vision for the future of humanity.Book Details
