"En Route" by J.-K. Huysmans is a late 19th-century novel that follows Durtal's profound spiritual transformation as he wrestles between his love for art, his search for inner peace, and the traditions of the Catholic Church. Durtal looks for refuge and contemplation within the walls of St. Sulpice church, attempting to discover meaning within the chaos of modern existence. His journey is filled with detailed accounts of sacred rites, deep reflections on how spiritual expression and art are connected, and internal debate between his artistic tendencies and religious beliefs. Durtal's observations offer us a look into his journey towards reconciliation, the complexities of Catholicism, and its significance in the quickly changing world.
