La Légende des Siècles: Tome I (French Edition)

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Lorsque Victor Hugo publie en 1859 La Légende des siècles, il entend raconter l'Histoire de l'humanité des origines jusqu'à la fin des temps. Mais la poésie désormais porte à des pièces plus brèves, et ce n'est pas une longue narration qu'il compose, mais une suite de Petites Épopées, courts récits héroïques et pittoresques qui cependant ne s'interdisent pas les éclairs visionnaires.

About the Author

"If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away," the larger-than-life Victor Hugo once confessed. Indeed, this 19th-century French author's books — from the epic drama Les Misérables to the classic unrequited love story The Hunchback of Notre Dame — have spanned the ages, their themes of morality and redemption as applicable to our times as to his.
