El Rey Se Divierte Victor Hugo

Publisher Marketing: Contribuyo de forma notable a la renovacion lirica y teatral de la epoca; fue admirado por sus contemporaneos y aun lo es en la actualidad, aunque ciertos autores modernos le consideren un escritor controvertido.5 Su implicacion politica, que le supuso una condena al exilio durante los veinte anos del Segundo Imperio frances (1852-1870), permitio a posteriores generaciones de escritores una reflexion sobre la implicacion y el compromiso de los escritores en la vida politica y social." Contributor Bio:  Hugo, Victor Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Legende des siecles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Miserables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. He was buried in the Pantheon.
