Od vere k razumu: razvoj Pierra Fromenta v Zolajevi trilogiji Tri mesta

Zupančič, Tija (author), Smolej, Tone (mentor)

Po zaključenem pisanju magnum opusa Rougon-Macquart, širokega cikla, v katerem raziskuje vpliv dednosti in družbe, se Émile Zola loti novega literarnega podviga, trilogije Tri mesta. V trilogiji polemizira vero in institucionalizirano religijo, kot alternativo pa predlaga znanost in razum. V svoji magistrski nalogi se bom posvetila analizi protagonista abbéja Pierra Fromenta. Skozi ključne trenutke in njegova doživljanja bom poskusila prikazati, na kakšen način se notranje razvija in kako njegov razvoj odraža Zolajev odnos do vere in razuma.

• Title: From Faith to Reason: The Development of Pierre Froment in Zola's Trilogy Three Cities

Abstract

After completing his magnum opus Rougon-Macquart, a broad cycle exploring the influence of heredity and society, Émile Zola began writing a new literary feat, the trilogy The Three Cities. In the trilogy, he polemicizes faith and institutionalized religion, proposing science and reason as an alternative. In my master's thesis, I will focus on analyzing the protagonist Abbé Pierre Froment. Through key moments and his experiences, I will attempt to show how he develops internally and how his prosperity reflects Zola's attitude toward faith and reason.
