Produktbeschreibung
Victor Hugo was a French playwright, poet, novelist, essayist, visual artist and human rights activist. He was influential in the Romantic Movement in France. Hugo is best known for his Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables. This autobiography begins, "This volume of memoirs has a double character--historical and intimate.

In portraits from the brushes of Rembrandts there are always two portraits, that of the model and that of the painter."
