This is a fantastic collection of Victor Hugo's seminal dramas, including "Mary Tudor", "Marion De Lorme", and "Esmeralda". Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Légende des siècles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Misérables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831), commonly known as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Aside from his literary achievements, he also produced over 4,000 beautiful drawings and was a prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including abolishing capital punishment. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

About the author










Victor Hugo (1802-1885) foi um dos mais célebres escritores, poetas e dramaturgos franceses, conhecido pelas suas contribuições para a literatura romântica e pela sua profunda influência no pensamento social e político. Nascido em Besançon, França, Hugo demonstrou talento literário desde tenra idade e ganhou proeminência com as suas colecções de poesia e peças de teatro antes de cimentar o seu legado como romancista. As suas obras-primas, Os Miseráveis e O Corcunda de Notre-Dame, permanecem clássicos intemporais, explorando temas de justiça, redenção e as lutas dos marginalizados. Um fervoroso defensor dos direitos humanos, Hugo usou a sua escrita para desafiar a opressão, lutar pela liberdade e apoiar os ideais democráticos. As suas convicções políticas levaram ao seu exílio durante o reinado de Napoleão III, um período que apenas aprofundou as suas buscas literárias e ideológicas. Para além da literatura, Hugo foi uma figura pública influente cujas obras ajudaram a moldar a França do século XIX. O seu impacto perdura, com as suas histórias, personagens e ideias a continuarem a inspirar gerações em todo o mundo.
