About This Novel

"Les Misérables" is another magnificent masterpiece written by the famous French romantic writer Victor Hugo after "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It is a novel that represents Hugo's thoughts and artistic style. With outstanding artistic expression, the book shows people a picture of the French Revolution from 1793 to 1832 through the description of the tragic experiences of Jean Valjean and others and a series of touching deeds done by Jean Valjean after he was converted by Bishop Myrière. The brilliant picture of French social and political life during the Paris Popular Uprising in 2006 profoundly exposed and criticized the decadent nature of French society and its criminal phenomena at that time, and expressed compassion and sympathy for the exploitation, fraud and cruel persecution suffered by the poor people under heavy pressure. "Notre Dame de Paris" is set in France under the rule of Louis XI in 1482. It describes the entanglement between a gypsy girl, Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame Church, and the outcast Quasimodo. The truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, evil, and ugliness of the characters are all magnified. Quasimodo, who is ugly, deaf and mute, has a noble and pure heart. Esmeralda is a beautiful and pure dancer who was framed to death by Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame Church, because she did not succumb to his desires. Quasimodo was desperate for losing his idol, and angrily pushed Frollo from the top floor to his death. He also went to the cemetery and committed suicide next to Esmeralda's body. "1993" Is an important work in the later years of the famous French writer Victor Hugo, and it is also his last novel. In the novel, Hugo created three central characters, the Marquis de Landenac, the leader of the Vendée rebels, his grandnephew, Govan, the commander of the Republican Army who suppressed the rebellion, and Simourdain, Govan's tutor and commissioner of the Public Security Commission. He developed an intricate plot around them, depicting the historical scene of the desperate struggle between the bourgeoisie and the feudal forces in 1793.
