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

[Lukas Værnesbranden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Denne. er god.
Har brukt ganske lang tid på denne, men den fanget meg ved første kapittel, så hadde ikke noe valg. Ferdig med den måtte jeg bli.
Utrolig bra. Victor Hugo skriver på en svært underholdende måte (selv om at seksti sider om waterloo var litt snork), og overrasker deg flere ganger i løpet av boken. Utrolig omfangende og allrørende, en bok som ypper med flere grener i humaniora. Klasse!
Er litt tom for ord egentlig. 1200 sider med forfatterskap i øverste klasse, hvor går man så?

This novel is fantastic and enthralling. I read it in only a couple weeks. There are constant plot twists and it has the saddest happy ending i ever read in my life.
