The Memoirs of Victor Hugo
by Victor Hugo
This is a diary of events, arranged in chronological order, and not a continuous autobiography. It is smaller and more than these, or rather, better. This is a kind of haphazard chronicle in which only striking events and incidents are uncovered, and also long and exhausting details are avoided. The long and joyful life of Victor Hugo was filled with a wide variety of character literature and politics, court and street, parliament and theater, labor, struggle, disappointment, exile and victory. From here we get an infinite variety of pictures.
