Victor Hugo (1802-1885): One of the most famous writers of French literature, the artist gained his literary fame with his poems and plays. He was among the most well-known names of the Romantic movement. He was closely interested in social problems and politics, participated in the Constituent Assembly after the 1848 uprisings, later became a deputy, and published a newspaper called l'Evénement. He was exiled in 1852 for opposing the coup d'état in which Louis Bonaparte declared himself emperor. His sentence ended in 1859, but he remained in voluntary exile until the empire collapsed, returning to France in 1870. Although he did not support the Paris Commune in 1871, he defended the communists. Victor Hugo uncompromisingly opposed the death penalty with his novel The Last Day of a Condemned Man, published in 1829. He went down in world literary history with his novels The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables, which are among the masterpieces of classical literature.
