Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was one of France's most celebrated writers, poets, and playwrights, renowned for his contributions to Romantic literature and his profound influence on social and political thought. Born in Besançon, France, Hugo displayed literary talent from an early age and rose to prominence with his poetry collections and plays before cementing his legacy as a novelist.His masterpieces, Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, remain timeless classics, exploring themes of justice, redemption, and the struggles of the marginalized. A passionate advocate for human rights, Hugo used his writing to challenge oppression, fight for freedom, and support democratic ideals. His political convictions led to his exile during the reign of Napoleon III, a period that only deepened his literary and ideological pursuits.Beyond literature, Hugo was an influential public figure whose works helped shape 19th-century France. His impact endures, with his stories, characters, and ideas continuing to inspire generations worldwide.
