| Summary |
"Actes et Paroles, Volume 4: Depuis l'Exil 1876-1885" by Victor Hugo is a collection of political writings and speeches penned during the late 19th century. This volume reflects Hugo's impassioned advocacy for social justice, human rights, and political reform, particularly in the context of the political turmoil in Europe during that period. The book serves as a clarion call against the atrocities committed against nations, with a particular emphasis on the plight of the Serbian people and the broader implications for European societies. The opening of the text presents a powerful indictment of the European governments for their indifference to the suffering of the Serbian population, which Hugo describes in graphic detail. He invokes the concept of collective human responsibility, arguing that the actions of the people should rise above the apathy of their rulers. Hugo expresses a deep desire for a united Europe that transcends national boundaries, advocating for a federation of peoples grounded in democratic values and human fraternity. This opening segment sets the tone for a series of impassioned discourses calling for social and political awakening, making it clear that Hugo is committed to fighting against tyranny and advocating for the protection of basic human rights.
