This extraordinary historical novel, set in Medieval Paris under the twin towers of its greatest structure and supreme symbol, the cathedral of Notre-Dame, is the haunting drama of Quasimodo, the hunchback; Esmeralda, the gypsy dancer; and Claude Frollo, the priest tortured by the specter of his own damnation. Shaped by a profound sense of tragic irony, it is a work that gives full play to Victor Hugo's brilliant historical imagination and his remarkable powers of description.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://lgbt.library.land/victor-hugo/31440-the_last_day_of_a_condemned_man.html https://lgbt.library.land/victor-hugo/31440-the_last_day_of_a_condemned_man.html
Before hearing my death sentence I was aware that my lungs breathed, that my heart beat, and that my body lived in the community of other men; now, I plainly saw that a barrier had sprung up between them and me. Nothing was the same as before. The imprisoned narrator of this profoundly moving novel awaits executionOCoand waits, and waits. Although his guilt is undeniable, his essential humanity emerges as he struggles with the certainty of impending death. Victor Hugo's impassioned early work carries the same power and universality as "Les ""Mis(r)rables." A vocal opponent to the barbarity of the guillotine, Hugo attempted to arouse compassion in the service of justice. This tale distills his beliefs and offers a highly significant contribution to the ongoing debate over the death penalty. A new Foreword by activist David Dow examines the message and relevance of Hugo's story to modern society."]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://lgbt.library.land/victor-hugo/31443-the_toilers_of_the_sea.html https://lgbt.library.land/victor-hugo/31443-the_toilers_of_the_sea.html

Victor Hugo's The Man Who Laughs (first published under the French title L'Homme qui Rit in April 1869) is a sad and sordid tale -- not the sort of tale of the moment Hugo was known for. It starts on the night of January 29, 1690, a ten-year-old boy abandoned -- the stern men who've kept him since infancy have wearied of him. The boy wanders, barefoot and starving, through a snowstorm to reach a gibbet bearing the corpse of a hanged criminal. Beneath the gibbet is a ragged woman, frozen to death. The boy is about to move onward when he hears a sound within the woman's garments: He discovers an infant girl, barely alive, clutching the woman's breast. A single drop of frozen milk, resembling a pearl, is on the woman's lifeless breast...]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://lgbt.library.land/victor-hugo/8493-les_misyrables,_v__1_5__fantine.html https://lgbt.library.land/victor-hugo/8493-les_misyrables,_v__1_5__fantine.html
