Produktbeschreibung
Victor Marie Hugo was born on 26th February 1802 and is revered as the greatest of all French writers. A poet, novelist, dramatist and painter he was a passionate supporter of Republicanism and made a notable contribution to the politics of his Country.

His life was paralleled by the immense political and social movements of the 19th Century. When he was two Napoleon was proclaimed Emperor but before he was eighteen the Bourbon Monarchy was restored.

It was only with his Mother's death in 1821 that he felt confident enough to marry Adele Foucher, a relationship he had kept secret from his mother. Their first child was born inside a year but died in infancy. Leopoldine was born the following year, followed by three further siblings.

Hugo published his first novel the year following year, Han d'Islande, (1823). Three years later his second, Bug-Jargal (1826).

Between 1829 and 1840 he would publish five further volumes of poetry solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest elegiac and lyric poets of his time. His reputation was growing not only in France but across Europe.

In 1841 he was elected to the Académie Française, cementing his position in the world of French arts and letters. Hugo also now began to turn his attention to an involvement in French politics.

Elevated to the peerage by King Louis-Philippe in 1841 he spoke eloquently and at length against the death penalty and social injustice as well as passionately in favour of freedom of the press and self-government for Poland.

When Napoleon III seized power in 1851, and established an anti-parliamentary constitution, Hugo openly declared him a traitor to France and began a long exile, based mainly in Guernsey.

In exile, Hugo published his famous political pamphlets; Napoléon le Petit and Histoire d'un crime. Although the pamphlets were banned in France, they nonetheless made a strong impact there. His exile also seemed to have a creative impetus. He composed or published some of his greatest work including Les Misérables, and three widely honoured collections of poetry (Les Châtiments, 1853; Les Contemplations, 1856; and La Légende des siècles, 1859).

In 1870 the Third Republic was established and Hugo finally returned home, where he was elected to the National Assembly and the Senate. That same year War erupted between France and Prussia and the French were badly beaten.

With the end of the War Hugo began his campaign for a great valuation and protection for the rights of artists and copyright. He was a founding member of the Association Littéraire et Artistique Internationale, which led to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

Victor Hugo's death on 22nd May 1885, at the age of 83, generated intense nation-wide mourning. Revered not only as a towering figure in literature, he was a statesman who had helped to shape the Third Republic and democracy in France.<

Autorenporträt
La Légende des sièclesEviradnusVictor Hugo La Légende des siècles est un recueil de poèmes de Victor Hugo, conçu comme une ¿uvre monumentale destinée à dépeindre l'histoire et l'évolution de l'Humanité.Écrits par intermittence entre 1855 et 1876, tant ses projets sont nombreux en ces années d'exil à Guernesey, les poèmes furent publiés en trois séries: en 1859, en 1877 et en 1883. Portée par un talent poétique estimé comme sans égal où se résume tout l'art de Hugo, après l'accomplissement des Châtiments et des Contemplations qui lui ont ouvert de nouveaux horizons, la Légende des siècles est considérée comme la seule véritable épopée française et, suivant le jugement porté par Baudelaire, comme la seule épopée moderne possible.Devant lui, en rêve, le poète contemple le mur des siècles, vague et terrible, sur lequel se dessinent et se mêlent toutes les scènes du passé, du présent et du futur, et où défile la longue procession de l'humanité. Les poèmes sont la peinture de ces scènes éparses et aperçues fugitivement, dans un entremêlement de visions terribles. Hugo n'a recherché ni l'exactitude historique ni encore moins l'exhaustivité. Au contraire, il s'attache plus volontiers à des figures obscures, le plus souvent inventées, mais qui incarnent et symbolisent leur âge et leur siècle. Comme il l'annonçait lui-même dans la Préface de la Première Série, C'est de l'histoire écoutée aux portes de la légende . Les poèmes, tantôt lyriques, épiques ou satiriques, forment une suite de l'aventure humaine, cherchant non à résumer mais à illustrer l'histoire du genre humain, à témoigner, au sens originel du terme, de son long cheminement des ténèbres vers la lumière.Ce livre, c'est le reste effrayant de Babel C'est la lugubre Tour des Choses, l'édificeDu bien, du mal, des pleurs, du deuil, du sacrifice,Fier jadis, dominant les lointains horizons,Aujourd'hui n'ayant plus que de hideux tronçons,Épars, couchés, perdus dans l'obscure vallée C'est l'épopée humaine, âpre, immense - écroulée.La Légende des siècles n'était pourtant pas d'emblée le dessein extraordinaire qu'elle est devenue par la suite. Son origine, et l'idée originelle, se situe dans ces Petites Epopées dont le titre et le vague projet figurent parmi de nombreux autres imaginés et notés par Hugo dans ses carnets dès 1848, et dont rien n'indique qu'elles portaient en elles une ambition aussi vaste.
