L'idylle rue Plumet et l'épopée rue Saint-Denis

Victor Hugo

The Idyll in the Rue Plumet and the Epic in the Rue Saint-Denis is the fourth part of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, not a standalone novel. In Paris in 1832, Marius and Cosette’s love story intersects with Jean Valjean, Éponine and the Thénardier underworld as political unrest gathers around the streets of Saint-Denis. It joins intimate feeling to a social epic.
