About the author

After Napoleon III seized power in 1851, French writer Victor Marie Hugo went into exile and in 1870 returned to France; his novels include The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1831) and Les Misérables (1862).

This poet, playwright, novelist, dramatist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, and perhaps the most influential, important exponent of the Romantic movement in France, campaigned for human rights. People in France regard him as one of greatest poets of that country and know him better abroad.

Reviews

[Núria]

Obra de Victor Hugo, escrita en francès del segle XIX. Context històric d'Espanya amb Carles V i Felip III. Moment en què França i Espanya estaven en guerra. Què podia sortir malament? Quin tostón de llibre. Hi ha obres d'Hugo que m'agraden i aquesta, tot i que té algun punt graciós o interessant, se m'ha fet molt tediosa.
