| Summary | "Kurjat II: Cosette" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This work continues the story from the iconic "Les Misérables," centering on the character of Cosette, exploring themes of love, poverty, and social injustice in post-revolutionary France. The narrative intricately weaves historical events, particularly the Battle of Waterloo, into Cosette's personal journey. The opening of "Kurjat II" introduces the reader to a traveler moving from Nivelles towards la Hulpe, who reflects on the landscape and history of the area, notably the significant site of the Battle of Waterloo. Through his observations, the setting comes alive, depicting the remnants of past conflicts and hints at the dramatic struggles that transpired on this ground. As he reaches Hougomont, a pivotal location during the battle, we delve into descriptions of its dilapidated structures, revealing the haunting memories of the fierce combat that once raged there. This opening establishes a backdrop filled with tension and historical weight, foreshadowing the intertwining of Cosette's story with the broader narrative of suffering and resilience amidst the chaos of war.
