| Summary | "Poems" by Victor Hugo is a collection of poetic works penned in the late 19th century. This anthology showcases Hugo’s mastery of language and his profound engagement with themes of love, loss, and the human experience. The collection features a mix of early poems, odes, and ballads, which reflect the author's emotional depth and political ideology, encapsulating his artistic evolution over the years. The beginning of "Poems" introduces readers to Victor Hugo's life and contexts shaping his writing. The memoir presents a brief biography, highlighting Hugo's experiences during turbulent times in France, from the Revolution to his emergence as a literary giant. Following the memoir, the opening poems express Hugo's range of emotions and thoughts, beginning with "Moses on the Nile," which explores the tender rescue of an infant by a royal figure amidst a backdrop of despair and political strife. Another notable piece, "Envy and Avarice," depicts two sisters embodying these vices, ultimately leading to a moral reflection on the human condition. The initial chapters set the stage for a rich exploration of Hugo's poetic vision, inviting readers into a world filled with evocative imagery and poignant themes.
