Paris (1898) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Paris is the
final installment in Zola’s celebrated Three Cities Trilogy.
Published toward the end of Zola’s career, the trilogy is an
ambitious, sweeping study of one man’s struggle with faith in
political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist
Abbé Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul
of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing
world. Paris finds Abbé Froment back in his home city,
disheartened in his life and in his faith. Having failed in his
quest to reform the Church, he turns his attention from
institutional change to helping the poor and sick. As his
reputation as an almsgiver grows, he draws the ire of his Church
superiors, who are wary of his socialistic ideals. Regardless,
Pierre dedicates himself to his subjects, taking in the poverty and
destitution of a great city’s slums and forgetting his former
ambitions. When a near-death experience involving an anarchist
bombing brings him back in touch with his estranged brother
Guillaume, Froment begins to wonder whether his fate must rely on
an institution unwilling, and perhaps unable, to change. In the
thrilling conclusion to his Three Cities Trilogy, Zola explores the
meaning of faith in a faithless world through the eyes of one good
man. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s Paris is a classic work
of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
