The Abbe Aubain and Mosaics is a novel written by the French author Prosper Merimee and first published in 1903. The story follows the life of a young priest named Abbe Aubain, who is sent to a small town in the south of France to serve as the local curate. While there, he becomes fascinated with the art of mosaics and begins to collect and study them.As he delves deeper into the world of mosaics, Abbe Aubain becomes increasingly isolated from the people around him, including his fellow priests and the townspeople. He spends most of his time in his study, poring over ancient texts and examining his collection of mosaics.However, his obsession with mosaics begins to take a toll on his mental health, and he becomes increasingly paranoid and delusional. He starts to believe that the mosaics are speaking to him and that they hold the key to unlocking some great mystery.As the novel progresses, Abbe Aubain's mental state continues to deteriorate, and he becomes more and more isolated from the world around him. Eventually, he is forced to confront the reality of his situation and the toll that his obsession has taken on his life.The Abbe Aubain and Mosaics is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche and the dangers of obsession. Merimee's masterful prose and vivid imagery bring the story to life, creating a haunting and unforgettable reading experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
