| Summary |
"Les misérables Tome III: Marius" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the early 19th century. This volume explores themes of poverty, innocence, and societal injustice through the experiences of its key character, Marius Pontmercy, as well as the vibrant image of Paris and its diverse populace, particularly focusing on the lives of street children. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the character of the "gamin," a Parisian street child encapsulating the spirit of the city. Through rich and descriptive language, Hugo portrays the gamin's carefree yet harsh existence, illustrating his resilience, innocence, and the unique culture that thrives among the impoverished youth of Paris. The narrative highlights the contrast between the joy of childhood and the bleak reality of urban life, setting the stage for Marius's journey and the broader social commentary that will unfold throughout the novel.
