Under Sentence Of Death - Or, A Criminal's Last Hours - Together With - Told Under Canvas And Claude Gueux

This volume contains three works by the seminal French writer Victor Hugo, including "Under Sentence of Death, or A Criminal's Last Hour," "Told Under Canvas," and "Claude Gueux." A fantastic collection and a must-have for fans and Hugo's work. Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Legende des siecles." Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Miserables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831), commonly known as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." Aside from his literary achievements, he also produced over 4,000 beautiful drawings and was a prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including the abolition of capital punishment. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author."
