About the Author
The best-known of the French Romantic writers, Victor Hugo was a poet, novelist, dramatist, and political critic. Hugo was an avid supporter of French republicanism and advocate for social and political equality, themes that reflect most strongly in his works Les Mis?rables, Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame), and Le Dernier jour d'un condamn? (The Last Day of a Condemned Man). Hugo's literary works were successful from the outset, earning him a pension from Louis XVIII and membership in the prestigious Acad?mie fran?aise, and influencing the work of literary figures such as Albert Camus, Charles Dickens, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Elevated to the peerage by King Louis-Philippe, Hugo played an active role in French politics through the 1848 Revolution and into the Second and Third Republics. Hugo died in 1885, revered not only for his influence on French literature, but also for his role in shaping French democracy. He is buried in the Panth?on alongside Alexandre Dumas and ?mile Zola.
From the Back Cover
Paris et ses prisons, ses égouts. Paris insurgé : le Paris des révolutions, des barricades sur lesquelles fraternisent les hommes du peuple. Paris incarné à travers la fi gure de Gavroche, enfant des rues effronté et malicieux. Hugo retrace ici avec force les misères et les heures glorieuses des masses vivantes qui se retrouvent. Les événements se précipitent, les personnages se rencontrent, se heurtent, s'unissent parfois, à l'image de Cosette et de Marius. L'histoire du forçat évadé et de la petite miséreuse symbolise quelque chose de plus grand : avec Les Misérables, Hugo réalise enfin l'esprit du peuple.
