Exiled in Guernsey, Hugo rediscovers his taste for great novels. With the help of Juliette Drouet, he completes Les Misérables, while in Paris young artists struggle to make a name for themselves. Madame Bovary, Les Fleurs du Mal, and Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe are censored. Delacroix dies, leaving Baudelaire like an orphan. The poet no longer finds his place in this flashy Paris redesigned by Haussmann. Allergic to modernization, he goes into exile in Belgium, where he will only return to die. Nadar makes photography the new art, and inspires the first futuristic novels of Jules Verne... But soon the war sounds the end of Napoleon III. Hugo returns to France, a hero. With Sand, Gautier and Dumas, they will finally witness the triumph of the Republic and Liberty. |
