"Les misérables Tome IV: L'idylle rue Plumet et l'épopée rue Saint-Denis" by Victor Hugo is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. This volume follows the intertwining lives of various characters set against the backdrop of societal upheaval in France during the aftermath of the July Revolution. The main characters include Jean Valjean, Marius, and Enjolras, as they navigate their personal struggles within the broader context of social justice and revolution. At the start of this section, the narrative reflects on the period of 1831 and 1832, exploring the political climate of France following the July Revolution. It discusses the social movements brewing in Paris, particularly in the faubourg Saint-Antoine, where the working class is growing increasingly restless. Various characters congregate in cabarets, exchanging revolutionary ideas and plotting insurrection, while the tension within society begins to mount, hinting at the imminent uprising. The text sets the stage for a dramatic conflict between the oppressed and their oppressors, illustrating both the individual and collective struggles faced by the characters in this tumultuous era.
