Although Marie's triumphant cure is described glowingly, Pierre and the reader learn -- it is Marie who cured herself, not the holy waters of Lourdes -- and it is in that which lies Zola's message.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emile Zola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603122508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603122504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aegypan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Emile Zola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938639642879,"sku":"9781603122504","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7c711295-b5ba-4086-a279-94da1aa36b86.jpg?v=1681436877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lourdes-by-emile-zola-fiction-emile-zola-9781603122504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
