Napoleon the Little
by Victor Hugo
Little Napoleon was an influential political pamphlet by Victor Hugo, denouncing the reign of the French emperor Napoleon III. For most of Napoleon III's reign, Hugo lived in exile in Guernsey, and his criticism of the monarch was notable because he was one of the greatest French of the time and was revered by many. It includes the concept of two and two to make five as the denial of truth of power, a concept later used by George Orwell in nineteen and eighty-four.
