Ultimo Giorno Di Un Condannato a Morte

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Quest'opera racconta, sotto forma di diario le ultime, ore di un accusato di omicidio e condannato alla ghigliottina.

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.
