Excerpt from Victor Hugo Chez Lui
Quand elle eut fini, elle voulut me donner son manuscrit, me demandant de le lire et de le corriger, et je lui répondis, comme je viens de le faire pour vous Non, je ne veux pas le con naître, parce qu'il y a sans doute des choses que ma modestie ne pourrait pas y laisser, et, si je le corrigeais, ce ne serait plus un livre de vous, ce serait un livre de moi. Mon fils Charles fut de mon avis; je n'ai connu le livre qu'après son apparition, il en sera de même du vôtre.

These discussions provide fresh insights into Hugo's ideas, his political positions, and his process as an artist.
