Sinossi

In "Abbé Aubain and Mosaics," Prosper Mérimée intricately weaves a narrative that explores the confluence of art and spirituality through the eyes of Abbé Aubain, a churchman grappling with the complexities of faith and mortality. The text exhibits Mérimée's signature blend of realism and romanticism, characterized by profound psychological insights and vivid descriptions that bring the 19th-century French landscape to life. This work reflects the intellectual currents of its time, particularly the Romantic fascination with the sublime and the emerging aesthetic appreciation for historical artifacts and architecture, as seen in the depictions of mosaics. Prosper Mérimée was a pivotal figure in 19th-century French literature, known for his keen observations and innovative narrative techniques. His background in archaeology and his role as a cultural figure in French society likely influenced his desire to explore the intersections of history, art, and human emotion within this work. Mérimée's own travels and scholarly pursuits inform the rich, evocative prose that invites readers to appreciate the beauty and fragility of both faith and artistic expression. "Abbé Aubain and Mosaics" is a must-read for those interested in the layered interplay of history and literature. Mérimée's exploration of faith through art will resonate with anyone seeking deeper insight into the human condition, making this text an essential addition to the canon of French literature.

    A new Nissan plant is coming to the depressed Rust Belt town of Baxter, and Captain Delia Mariola has been busy cleaning up the crime-addled city ever since the deal was announced. But when the fifteen-year-old daughter of the lead bidder on the construction project—a wealthy out-of-towner—suddenly disappears, and it becomes clear that a professional kidnapping ring may be responsible, Delia realizes that the factory's influx of cash could bring with it an entirely new sort of danger, never before considered in this working class milieu. 
     
     
     
    Though Elizabeth's abduction was well-planned and bearing the mark of an experienced team, her captors could not have anticipated the quick and clever brilliance of the exceptionally smart teen. From the trunk of the car where she is held, she soon devises a clever trick to get cryptic messages to those who love her back down the highway in Baxter. The only problem is that the messages might be too cryptic even for their recipients to decipher. If Delia has any hope of bringing the girl home unharmed, she'll have to crack the code and discover the meaning behind the message. And unless she does it fast, there may be nobody left to save . . .
