Quatrevingt-treize (En fran�ais / French Edition)

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Read Hugo's final novel in its original language.

Just years after the storming of Bastille, the French Revolution has no end in sight, and the people's fight for rights is at its bloodiest. Hugo, as always, is poetic yet at the same time accessible-- and, of course, an absolute pleasure to read.

About the Author

"If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away," the larger-than-life Victor Hugo once confessed. Indeed, this 19th-century French author's books — from the epic drama Les Misérables to the classic unrequited love story The Hunchback of Notre Dame — have spanned the ages, their themes of morality and redemption as applicable to our times as to his.
