Synopsis

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Last Day of a Condemned Man with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Last Day of a Condemned Man by Victor Hugo, the thought-provoking tale of a man who is sentenced to death and the emotions he feels over the last 24 hours of his life. The book was written as a plea for capital punishment to be abolished, and Hugo uses it to describe in detail how devastating this type of punishment truly is. The author was very politically active, making frequent speeches in front of the government to beg them to abolish the death penalty, which he was strongly against. He is one of the best-known French authors of all time: his works were incredibly successful, his death was mourned across France, and his portrait was even placed on French bank notes in his legacy.  Find out everything you need to know about The Last Day in a Condemned Man in a fraction of the time!
