Title : The Contemplations. Books IV-V - Victor Hugo - book

Summary :

"What are Les Contemplations? It is what one could call, if the word had no pretension, the Memoirs of a Soul" (Preface). Few poetic works refer more openly to their historical and biographical context than this one. Published in 1856, Les Contemplations bears the mark of a double mourning: the loss of the poet's daughter, Léopoldine, and the symbolic death represented by exile. But what is at stake touches on the power of poetic speech: through contemplation, plunged into the depths of oneself from which poetry must emerge, Hugo makes heartbreak a creative act and the lyrical word the instrument of a search for the absolute.
