This extensive work aims to portray the progression of humanity, capturing the various epochs from historical and legendary perspectives. It explores themes of existence, humanity’s struggles, and the quest for understanding, weaving a narrative through reflections on notable figures and events that shaped civilization. The opening of the work introduces readers to its vast ambitions and philosophical underpinnings. Victor Hugo evokes a poetic vision of history as a silent wall, marked by the presence of humanity through the passage of time. He uses metaphoric language to describe this wall as a composite of various epochs, each contributing to a collective narrative of the human condition. Hugo expresses his intention to create a cyclical artwork that encompasses the complexities and evolutions of society over the centuries, leading towards a broader understanding of humanity's nature and progress, emphasizing both the historical and legendary aspects. This introduction sets the stage for the meditative exploration of human existence that will unfold in the poems that follow.
