520			_a"Quand l’Esprit souffle" by Adolphe Retté is a collection of Catholic conversion narratives and spiritual essays written in the early 20th century. It examines how divine grace draws modern men and women out of skepticism and vice, insisting on the Church’s unique authority to restore order to the soul. The chief example introduced is J.-K. Huysmans, whose journey runs from naturalist misanthropy and satanic fascination to a penitential return to faith through prayer, liturgy, and humble obedience. The work blends literary portraiture with mystical theology to appeal to readers interested in the lived drama of conversion. The opening of the work presents a fervent preface: conversion is a “return to order,” skepticism poisons the soul, and the author hopes these accounts will move wandering hearts while fully submitting his claims to the Church’s judgment. Retté then turns to Huysmans, sketching his sickly nerves, misanthropy, and early novels that revel in abnormal states and contempt for nature, even as a hesitant attraction to Scripture, liturgy, and religious art begins to surface. A second phase sees him confront the reality of evil in studying satanism (Là-bas), admit the supernatural, yet balk at dogma and practice; grace works quietly through plainchant, the devotion of the poor, and a shattering Christmas vespers that prompts a raw prayer to the Virgin. Guided at last by a discerning priest, he learns steady prayer, benefits from the intercession of enclosed nuns, and is pressed toward a Trappist retreat despite dread of confession. There, moved by the Office and the Salve Regina yet harried by temptations, he breaks down, finds contrition, and finally makes a full confession under the gentle firmness of the prior—an arc the author presents as the unmistakable action of grace at the book’s outset.
