"Under Sentence of Death - Or, a Criminal's Last Hours" is a fictional account of the trial and sentencing of a man that ultimately leads to his death. A thought-provoking insight to a criminal's last moments, "Under Sentence of Death" is not to be missed by fans of Hugo's work, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. 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". We are proudly republishing this vintage detective novel now in a brand new 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.
