Beschrijving

Victor Hugo is one of the best-known French writers, and is part of the greatest literary figures of all time. His poetry made him famous very early, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest lyric poets when he was only 20 years old. He was also a novelist and a dramatist, and furthered the cause of Romanticism, this exalted artistic movement which toyed with Sublime and soared on the winds of emotion. The high-achieving poet was also actively involved in politics, defending the poor until his last breath; he was even forced into exile, from which he kept on writing, beloved by the masses he stood up for. When he died, it was an intense day of mourning in France, and more than two million people joined his funeral procession to the Panthéon. Today, most large towns in France have at least a street named after him. We have selected for you 100 of his most intense and profound quotes, for you to enjoy his passion and the rhythm of his style.

Over de auteur

Op zijn veertiende zei Victor Hugo (1802-1885) dat hij Chateaubriand, indertijd beschouwd als de grootste Franse schrijver, wilde worden en anders niets. Door zijn enorme oeuvre, lange literaire carrière en de diversiteit van zijn werk loste hij die belofte aan zichzelf in: Hugo domineerde de Franse literatuur bijna de gehele negentiende eeuw. De klokkenluider van de Notre-Dame en Les misérables behoren tot zijn bekendste werken.
