Synopsis

Excerpt from Les Misérables, (the Wretched), Vol. 1 of 5: A Novel; Fantine

But after all, the gossip. With which his name was connected, was only gossip: noise, talk, words, less than wel'ds - palavers, as they say in the forcible language of the South.

However this might be, after nine years of episcopacy, and of residence in D all these stories, topics of. Talk, which engross at first petty towns and petty people, were entirely forgotten. No body would have dared to speak of, or even remember them.

About this title

About the Author:

Victor 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 and then from his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). He produced more than 4,000 drawings, which have since been admired for their beauty. He also earned widespread respect as a campaigner for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment. 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 the artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon. His legacy has been honoured in many ways, including his portrait being placed on French franc banknotes.
