Summary "Le Rêve" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against a backdrop of hardship and snow-covered Picardy during the winter of 1860, focusing on a young girl named Angélique, who faces dire circumstances and struggles with her identity, family history, and the longing for belonging. The book explores themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption as it delves into Angélique's life after being taken in by a childless couple, the Huberts, who long for a child of their own. The opening of "Le Rêve" introduces Angélique, a nine-year-old orphaned girl found shivering under the old door of a cathedral. Cold and alone, she is discovered by a kind couple, Hubert and Hubertine, who take her into their home despite the mysteries of her background. The narrative captures Angélique's initial fear and subsequent connection with her new guardians as they provide her with shelter and care. It highlights her emotional turmoil stemming from her past and illustrates her journey from despair to potential acceptance in a loving family, setting the stage for the deeper exploration of her character and life experiences that follow in the novel.
