La Légende des siècles tome I by Victor Hugo
"La Légende des siècles tome I" by Victor Hugo is a collection of poems published in three series between 1859 and 1883. The work depicts the history and evolution of humanity through epic verses. Hugo presents scattered scenes from past, present, and future, focusing on obscure or invented figures who symbolize their ages. Rather than historical accuracy, he creates "history heard at the doors of legend," tracing humanity's journey from darkness toward
light through lyric, epic, and satirical poems. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
