Autorenporträt
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) fue uno de los escritores, poetas y dramaturgos más célebres de Francia, conocido por su contribución a la literatura romántica y su profunda influencia en el pensamiento social y político. Nacido en Besançon (Francia), Hugo demostró talento literario desde una edad temprana y alcanzó la fama con sus poemarios y obras de teatro, antes de consolidar su legado como novelista. Sus obras maestras, Los miserables y El jorobado de Notre-Dame, siguen siendo clásicos atemporales que exploran temas como la justicia, la redención y la lucha de los marginados. Apasionado defensor de los derechos humanos, Hugo utilizó sus escritos para desafiar la opresión, luchar por la libertad y apoyar los ideales democráticos. Sus convicciones políticas le llevaron al exilio durante el reinado de Napoleón III, un periodo que no hizo sino intensificar sus inquietudes literarias e ideológicas. Sus historias, personajes e ideas siguen inspirando a generaciones de todo el mundo.
