Discover this rare volume of Victor Hugo’s Complete Works, bringing together *Les Années funestes* (1852-1870) and *Dernière gerbe*, published by Albin Michel and Librairie Ollendorff in 1941. This 593-page paperback French edition is in satisfactory condition considering its age. *Les Années funestes* gathers the satirical, political, and vengeful poems written during Hugo’s eighteen years of exile under the Second Empire, a direct continuation of *Les Châtiments*, in which Hugo fiercely denounces Napoleon III, the coup d’état of 1851, and the erosion of liberties. *Dernière gerbe*, a posthumous anthology first published in 1902, offers a more intimate, philosophical, and serene tone through meditations on death, the passage of time, amorous memories, communion with nature, and metaphysical reflections on God.
This condensed book reveals all of Hugo’s genius: the poet-citizen angry against tyranny and the sage who questions the meaning of existence.
