In 1838 Hugo began a play entitled Les Jumeaux (The Twins), but halfway through the third act he relinquished it, and the drama remained unfinished. It was finally published in 1889, as a fragment, after his death. The MS. was broken off with the words, "Interrompu le 28 Aout par la maladie "; and the illness was no doubt that weakness of the eyes by which Hugo for several years was troubled.

Victor Hugo - Les Misérables is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. In the English-speaking world, the novel is usually referred to by its original French title, however several alternatives have been used, including The Miserable, The Wretched, The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims and The Dispossessed.

An epic novel of nineteenth-century France, Les Miserables tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who works to redeem his past. Popularized by the film and musical, the novel is a sweeping masterpiece of character, adventure and emotion.

Para Víctor Hugo el exilio no es una cosa material, es una cuestión moral: "Todos los rincones de la tierra resultan lo mismo". Cuestión moral, no cuestión de derecho, la aplicación injusta del poder sobre otro que no tiene como oponerse a la sentencia. A traves de Victor Hugo quienes nos hablan son todos aquellos que han ganado la calidad de proscritos, y con ella, han perdido lo que consideraban suyo, forzados a dejarlo todo y a buscar fortuna en otras tierras, o simplemente a sobrevivir bajo el dominio tenaz de la melancolia.

In "Notre-Dame de Paris," Victor Hugo masterfully weaves a rich tapestry of 15th-century French life, centering around the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame and its inhabitants. The narrative explores themes of love, fate, and societal injustice through the intertwining lives of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell-ringer; Esmeralda, the enchanting Romani girl; and Claude Frollo, the tormented priest. HugoAos lush, poetic prose is complemented by his profound historical and architectural observations, reflecting a Romantic literary style that captures the complex emotions of his characters while simultaneously critiquing the social mores of his time. Hugo, a leading figure of the French Romantic movement, was profoundly influenced by the changing social landscape of 19th-century France, which is evident in his exploration of marginalized individuals and the recurring motifs of exile and acceptance. His experiences with political exile and advocacy for social change inform the depth of his characters and their struggles, as he accuses a society that often overlooks the humanity in the monstrous. "Notre-Dame de Paris" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of architecture, morality, and human experience. It not only offers a gripping narrative but also poses timeless questions about love and identity, rendering it a profound and enduring work that transcends its historical context.

NOTA DELLEDITORE: Questo eBook e solo testuale, manca delle parti Audio, se interessati allAudio-eBook e necessario acquistare lo stesso titolo con la specifica tra parentesi alla fine del titolo(Audio-eBook).In questo Quarto Tomo, che Hugo dichiaro una volta essere il vero cuore del romanzo, vengono descritti gli eventi della Rivoluzione e della Monarchia di Luglio (1830) e sviscerate le ragioni della protesta popolare del 1832. Hugo inquadra in questo contesto le numerose vite che convergono tutte negli avvenimenti della sommossa parigina e della barricata di Saint-Denis: quella di Eponine e del suo amore segreto per Marius, di Cosette e Valjean in Rue Plumet, di Marius e Cosette alle prese con lo sbocciare del loro idillio poi bruscamente interrotto, di Valjean sempre preoccupato per la sua liberta, del vecchio Mabeuf, del monello Gavroche e dei giovani repubblicani del gruppo ABC. Tutti hanno qualcosa per cui lottare sulla barricata: gli amici dellABC per convinzioni rivoluzionarie, Mabeuf e Marius per disperazione, Eponine per amore, Gavroche per curiosita, Javert per spiare e Jean Valjean per salvare Marius.
