About This Novel
"Ninety-Three Years" (1874) is Hugo's last novel. The novel creates three central characters: the Marquis de Lantenac, the leader of the Vendée rebels, his grandnephew, Guo Wen, the commander of the Republican Army who suppressed the rebellion, and Simourden, Guo Wen's tutor and commissioner of the Public Security Commission. An intricate plot unfolded around them, vividly describing the historical scene of the life-and-death struggle between the bourgeoisie and feudal forces in 1793. At the end of the novel: Lanternac, who had narrowly escaped death, returned to the burning castle to rescue three children due to his conscience. Guo Wen was moved by his uncle's humanitarian spirit and was willing to trade his own head for Landenac's life; Simulden shot himself while Guo Wen's head fell to the ground. "1993" Can be said to be the most perfect expression of Hugo's writing art and humanitarian spirit.

It is difficult for a child to grow well in such an environment, and this mother has no milk. It is difficult for her to survive in such a difficult war environment, let alone take care of a child.
The damage caused by the civil war is irreparable. Just like the woods, the blood stains and various documents show that many cruel things have happened here.
In such a tense war period, every soldier is very nervous and cautious. I think ordinary people are also panic-stricken. Any disturbance may make the soldiers raise their guns.
