"La Légende des siècles tome II" by Victor Hugo is a collection of poems written between 1855 and 1876. This second volume forms part of Hugo's monumental work depicting humanity's journey through history. Through scattered visions of past, present, and future, Hugo presents symbolic figures—often obscure or invented—representing different ages. These lyric, epic, and satiric poems illustrate humanity's long progression from darkness toward light, creating what many consider France's only true epic and the only possible modern epic.
