Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Hugo was a famous French novelist, and the author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He was concerned with social and political issues like education, human rights, and injustice. He was married, but had a mistress for 50 years, an actress named Juliette Drouet. Many of the letters he wrote to her have now been published.
The Novel
The novel itself was started in 1845 and finished in 1861, and many people consider it Hugo’s masterpiece. (Any French person who has graduated high school is familiar with it.) The book tells the story of several intertwined characters, and highlights social problems, as well as aspects of human nature (both good and bad). The title basically means “the miserable,” Hugo was very concerned with the idea of misery, meaning poverty, ignorance, lack of food or shelter, and being outcast from “good” society for whatever reason.
Les Misérables (literally "The Miserable Ones“) translated variously from the French as The Miserable Ones, The Wretched, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, or The Victims), is an 1862 French novel by author Victor Hugo and is widely considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century. It follows the lives and interactions of several French characters over a seventeen-year period in the early nineteenth century, starting in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion.[1]
