Dopo essere venuto a conoscenza della disgraziata vita di Fantine, ormai molto malata, Valjean/Madeleine cerca di aiutarla ricoverandola nel suo ospedale. Nel frattempo giunge in citta un ispettore di polizia, Javert, il quale sospetta la reale identita del sindaco. Saputo da Javert che un uomo creduto Jean Valjean e stato catturato, e rischia di essere incriminato e condannato ai lavori forzati a vita, Valjean/Madeleine, pur se molto combattuto, si risolve infine a costituirsi rivelando la propria identita per salvare linnocente; incarcerato di nuovo, riesce ad evadere, intenzionato a prendersi cura di Cosette dopo la morte di Fantine.

"The Man Who Laughs" is a novel by French writer Victor Hugo that was first published in April 1869 under the French title "LHomme qui rit", just two years before the establishment of the Paris Commune. It was adapted into a popular 1928 film, directed by Paul Leni."The Man Who Laughs" tells the story of young man named Gwynplaine, whose mouth is horribly deformed. When he is a child, he rescues a little girl from a snowstorm, and the two fall in love when they grow older. Gwynplaine is the embodiment of the people; he represents all those who are oppressed by the powerful and can do nothing about it.Every issue, including social inequality, the corruption of power, the political responsibility to intervene, the crushing of the individual by the system, is latent and is masterfully revealed through a plot in which love is a driving force.

Classic / American English (Available February 2008) Ugly and unwanted by the outside world, Quasimodo the hunchback lives under the protection of the priest in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Then his quiet life is destroyed by the priests evil plans for a beautiful gypsy girl. The priest needs Quasimodos help. But the hunchback has other ideas.

Victor Hugo wrote this work whilst in exile for taking part in the events herein described. His story is thrillingly told. The world for the first time gets all the details of the coup d état by which Louis Napoleon became emperor of France. The book reads like a novel, and yet its action only goes over two days and is all strictly historical. Its publication caused a great excitement in Paris that October, and probably prevented a similar attack upon the liberties of France and the Republic. At all events, it was this fear which caused Victor Hugo to make his testimony public; for he said, "This work is more than opportune; it is imperative. I publish it."

Victor Hugo wrote the dramatic libretto for the opera "La Esmeralda" in 1836. Although the premiere of the opera was a failure, the libretto, based on Hugos novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, is stil

The fundamental conception of the drama "The Burgraves" is a dramatic struggle between two antithetical forces: fatality attempting to impose punishment on a degraded race and providence striving to pardon and to rehabilitate. The poet has embodied the force of fatality in an old slave named Guanhumara, a sorceress endowed with a knowledge of medicinal herbs. She has effected several cures, including that of Hatto the grandson of Job, who is the chief burgrave; and on this account, she is allowed much more freedom than is granted to the other slaves. Within the character of Guanhumara there is the contrast between the apparent weakness on account of her age, sex, and condition and the tremendous power that her mysterious and magical talents bestow together with her irresistible will to wreak vengeance.

In the spring of 1864 appeared Hugos book entitled "William Shakespeare"a book, that throws more light on the greatest genius of his own century than on the greatest genius of the age of Shakespeare. And in good sooth the light it throws on the latter is scarcely blinding. But it shows what Victor Hugo himself had come to regard as the poets mission. The poet, as he tells us, "for a truth, is a priest. There is but one pontiff here below,genius." Whereupon, if we ask by what signs we are to recognise our spiritual pastors and masters, we are told that they are "the men who represent the total sum of the absolute realisable by man," that they attain to the "highest summit of the human spirit,"" the ideal," where " they occupy thrones," and that their thoughts plunge into the abyss of the infinite.

Torquemada, a drama about the Spanish inquisition, is one of the greatest masterpieces of the master poet of the 19th century. The construction of this tragedy is absolutely original and unique: free and full of change as the wildest and loosest and roughest of dramatic structures ever flung together, and left to crumble or cohere at the pleasure of accident or of luck, by the rudest of primaeval playwrights : but perfect in harmonious unity of spirit, in symmetry or symphony of part with part, as the most finished and flawless creation of Sophocles or of Phidias. Torquemada is one of the sublimest, in all the illimitable world of dramatic imagination.

Notre-Dame de Paris, also known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is the best-known novel of French romanticist Victor Hugo. The story about the gypsy Esmeralda, who captures the hearts of Captain Phoebus, Pierre Gringoire, the bell-ringer Quasimodo and his guardian Archdeacon Claude Frollo is an all-time classic and a must-read for all fans of French novels.

"The Man Who Laughs" ("LHomme qui Rit") was called by its author "A Romance of English History," and was written during the period Hugo spent in exile in Guernsey. Like "The Toilers of the Sea," its immediate predecessor, the main theme of the story is human heroism, confronted with the superhuman tyranny of blind chance. As a passionate cry on behalf of the tortured and deformed, and the despised and oppressed of the world, "The Man Who Laughs" is irresistible. Of it Hugo himself says in the preface: "The true title of this book should be "Aristocracy"inasmuch as it was intended as an arraignment of the nobility for their vices, crimes, and selfishness. "The Man Who Laughs" was first published in 1869.
