Victor Hugo (1802–1885) stands as an iconic figure in French literature and is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 19th century. Born in Besançon, France, Hugo was a novelist, poet, and playwright whose work touched upon the political and social issues of his time. His literary career spanned numerous genres, and he became an important part of the Romantic movement in France. Hugo's passion for social justice is perhaps best exemplified in his monumental novel 'Les Misérables' (1862), a sweeping tale of redemption, love, and the human spirit's struggle against adversity. The novel presents a critique of the French societal structure and the judiciary system, while also advocating for the rights of the underprivileged. 'Les Misérables' remains a timeless classic, studied for its intricate plot, multi-faceted characters, and profound messages about humanity. Hugo's influence extended beyond literature; he was also politically active, advocating for universal suffrage and an end to poverty. Exiled for his political views during the Second Empire, his return to France was marked by a renewed interest in social and humanitarian causes. Hugo's legacy is deeply engrained in the world of literature, his works are not only a reflection of his innovative literary style but also of his enduring commitment to human rights and the dignity of every individual.
