The Secret Power of Epilogues: How One Final Chapter Could Transform Your Book Forever
4. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
While not explicitly titled as an epilogue, the final short chapter in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo functions as one, as it reveals the grave of the protagonist, Jean Val Jean, ending with the epitaph:
He sleeps. Although so much he was denied,
He lived; and when dear love left him, died.
It happened of itself, in the calm way
That in the evening night-time follows day.
5. Neuromancer by William Gibson
The groundbreaking science fiction novel Neuromancer by William Gibson ends with an epilogue titled, “Coda, Chapter 24: Departure and Arrival” (Coda is the equivalent to an epilogue in music—see below).
