"La Légende des siècles tome IV" by Victor Hugo is a collection of poems written between 1855 and 1876. This monumental work depicts the history and evolution of humanity through epic, lyric, and satiric verse. Hugo presents scattered scenes from past, present, and future, focusing on obscure and invented figures who symbolize their ages. Rather than seeking historical accuracy, he creates "history listened to at legend's door," tracing humanity's journey from darkness to light through fragmented visions of the human adventure.
