| Summary | "Le Rhin, Tome III" by Victor Hugo is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the Rhine River and its surroundings, focusing on the author’s observations of landscapes, architecture, and towns along its banks, particularly the cities of Mayence and Francfort. It reflects a blend of romanticism and a sense of nostalgia as Hugo critiques the destruction of historical sites and the impact of modernity on culture and society. At the start of the narrative, the author describes his journey through Mayence, detailing the city's architecture, historical significance, and the changes inflicted upon it by modern tastes. He contrasts Mayence's historical charm with the invasive influences that have resulted in its architectural decline. He reflects on the grandeur of the cathedral and the tombs of archbishops, meditating on their significance in the context of the French Revolution and the resulting shift in power dynamics. Victor Hugo invites readers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the Rhineland's landscape while lamenting the erasure of its historical identity.
