Victor Hugo Listen is a French poet, playwright and prose writer, born on 26 February 1802 in Besançon and died on 22 May 1885 in Paris. He is considered one of the most important writers of French. He is also a political personality and a committed intellectual who played a major role in the history of the nineteenth century. Victor Hugo occupies a prominent place in the history of French literature in the nineteenth century, in genres and domains of remarkable variety. He is a lyric poet with collections such as Odes et Ballades (1826), Les Feuilles d'automne (1831) or Les Contemplations (1856), but he is also a poet engaged against Napoleon III in Les Châtiments (1853) The Legend of the Centuries (1859 and 1877). His novels also met a great popular success, notably with Notre-Dame de Paris (1831), and even more with Les Misérables (1862). In the theater he exhibited his theory of romantic drama in his preface to Cromwell in 18276 and illustrated it mainly with Hernani in 1830 and Ruy Blas in 1838, but also Lucrece Borgia and Le Roi s'amuse. His multiple work also includes political speeches in the Chamber of Peers, the Constituent Assembly and the Legislative Assembly, notably on the death penalty, school or Europe, travel stories (Le Rhin, 1842 , Or Things seen, posthumous, 1887 and 1890), and an abundant correspondence.
