Antiquarian and Classic Book Reviews
(February 26th, 1802 — May 22nd, 1885)
Victor Marie Hugo was a French novelist, poet, and playwright whose sixty-year career was part of the Romantic Movement. He was a very prolific writer and many of his works are still well-known today.
His most famous works Les Misérables, and Notre-Dame de Paris, both of which have been adapted into musicals and films. In France, he is well-known for his poetry and his plays as well.
Hugo campaigned for social causes, notably republicanism and the abolition of capital punishment. He also opposed absolutism.
Victor Hugo is a book author.
You can view all authors, or you can search by language/region, genre, era/movement, editor/translator, or year of edition.
Due to how many adaptations it has had and how prominent it is in the canon of classic literature, I thought it would be a staple of used bookstores or the bigger new bookstores. Well, it isn’t. This is a review of Victor Hugo’s Notre-Dame de Paris or The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
