| Summary | "Les misères de Londres, 2. L'enfant perdu" by Ponson du Terrail is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is focused on the plight of a young Irish boy named Ralph, who is attempting to escape a life of captivity and violence in London, depicted through a dark urban setting. The narrative explores themes of abandonment and hope as Ralph navigates a dangerous city in search of his mother. At the start of the novel, we find Ralph attempting to escape captivity, revealing his brave but desperate character as he climbs walls and avoids danger. He witnesses an altercation involving masked assailants and faces various risks while making his way through the grim streets of London. After a tumultuous journey filled with danger, he encounters Suzannah, a kind young woman who offers to help him find his mother, despite her shady associations with a criminal named Bulton. The opening sets a somber tone, showcasing the harsh realities of life for children like Ralph in Victorian London, and hints at the unfolding conflict as he gets entangled with characters of questionable morals.
