La Faute de l’abbé Mouret est le cinquième volume de la célèbre série des Rougon-Macquart. Cette œuvre magistrale du naturaliste Zola regroupe vingt titres peignant une famille sur cinq générations, révélant ses tares héréditaires et l’influence qu’elle exerce sur ses membres. La Faute de l’Abbé Mouret raconte l’histoire d’un prêtre d’un pauvre village qui, tout à sa dévotion, muré dans ses certitudes et ses rituels, vit avec pour seule compagnie une vieille servante faible d’esprit. Amnésique suite à une maladie, il tombe dans le piège de la tentation et se retrouve confronté à l’amour et à la sensualité du monde. Cette réécriture naturaliste de la Genèse est un roman à la symbolique riche qui oppose la foi face au fanatisme et interroge les forces de vie et de mort.
