This book contains Victor Hugo's 1869 play, "Esmeralda". It is based on Esméralda, a fictional character in Hugo's 1831 novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Hugo originally wrote "La Esmeralda" as an opera libretto and adaptation of "Notre Dame de Paris". However, there are notable differences between the two, the most obvious of which is the representation of the character Phoebus-in "La Esmeralda", he is noble and righteous, but in "Notre Dame de Paris", he is a womaniser and scoundrel.

This book contains Victor Hugo's 1869 play, "Esmeralda". It is based on Esméralda, a fictional character in Hugo's 1831 novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Hugo originally wrote "La Esmeralda" as an opera libretto and adaptation of "Notre Dame de Paris". However, there are notable differences between the two, the most obvious of which is the representation of the character Phoebus-in "La Esmeralda", he is noble and righteous, but in "Notre Dame de Paris", he is a womaniser and scoundrel. Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Légende des siècles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Misérables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831), commonly known as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Aside from his literary achievements, he also produced over 4,000 beautiful drawings and was a prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including abolishing capital punishment. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Autorenporträt
Victor Hugo, born in 1802, was a towering figure in French literature and a leading voice of the Romantic movement. His early years were shaped by his father's military career and his mother's royalist leanings, but he soon developed his own revolutionary ideas, which would profoundly influence his work. By the time he published Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hugo had already established himself as a literary master known for his vivid depictions of social injustice.Hugo was also deeply involved in politics, advocating for republican ideals and speaking out against the injustices of his time, including the death penalty and slavery. His opposition to Napoleon III led to his exile, during which he produced some of his most famous works. Hugo's commitment to social reform extended beyond his writing, as he championed human rights throughout his life.Returning to France in 1870, Hugo was hailed as a national hero. His works, including poetry, novels, and plays, left an enduring legacy in both literature and politics. He passed away in 1885, and his funeral, attended by millions, marked the nation's profound respect for his life and work.
