Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet, novelist, and political figure whose epic works 'Les Miserables' and 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame' made him the dominant literary voice of nineteenth-century France. A champion of the poor and opponent of tyranny, he spent nineteen years in political exile rather than accept Napoleon III's regime.
