Les Misérables, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Le
Dernier Jour d'un Condamné... are only a few of the
works with which he became world famous. Victor Hugo was born
in Besançon (Franche-Comté) on February 26,
1802 as the son of Joseph Léopold Sigisbert Hugo (1773-1828),
a French general in the army of Napoleon, and Sophie Trébuchet.
He developed a love for writing at a very young age. When
he was 14 years old, he wrote in his diary: "I want to
be Chateaubriand or nothing". Francois René de
Chateaubriand was a famous French poet and writer. Victor
Hugo moulded himself into the same. He is now known as a French
poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, visual artist, statesman,
human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential
exponent of the Romantic movement in France. With regard to
his personal life we point out that he married Adèle
Foucher in 1822 and together they had 5 children. Victor Hugo
died on May 22, 1885 in Paris at age 83.
