Summary "Les misérables Tome II: Cosette" by Victor Hugo is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. This volume continues the tale of Jean Valjean and focuses on his adoptive daughter, Cosette, exploring themes of redemption, love, and social injustice through their lives. The book delves into events such as the Battle of Waterloo, highlighting the struggles of its characters against the backdrop of historical turmoil. At the start of this second volume, the narrative intertwines the historical events of Waterloo with the personal histories of its key characters. A passerby travels from Nivelles and encounters remnants of the battlefield, leading to reflections on the war's impact. The chapters shift between the scenes of battle and the lives of individuals like Valjean, foreshadowing their struggles and relationships. As Valjean's story progresses, the opening sets the tone for themes of sacrifice and the quest for humanity amidst chaos. This blend of historical context and personal journey establishes a rich tapestry for the unfolding drama in Cosette's life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
