Synopsis

Including a detailed biographical introduction of Victor Hugo and his achievements. *** Before Les Misérables, before The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Victor Hugo wrote Bug-Jargal. Set against the backdrop of the 1791 slave uprising in Saint-Domingue, Bug-Jargal tells the gripping story of a forbidden friendship between a French military officer and an enslaved African prince. When revolution explodes across the colony, Captain Léopold d'Auverney finds himself caught between the brutal forces of colonial power and the righteous fury of the oppressed-with his bond to the noble Bug-Jargal tested at every turn. Written when Hugo was barely nineteen, this early masterpiece already showcases the author's remarkable gift for vivid characterization and his passionate concern for justice and human dignity. Though less known than his later works, Bug-Jargal remains a powerful exploration of honor, sacrifice, and the terrible human cost of slavery and colonialism. Rediscover the young Victor Hugo's first major work-a novel that dared to humanize rebellion and question the foundations of empire at a time when such questions were dangerous indeed. *** The series "Large Print Reader's Choice" features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points. This font size is not only highly recommended and useful for visually impaired readers, but generally improves letter and word recognition and reading comprehension.
