Victor Hugo. Treskunov M.

The name of Victor Hugo is one of those that make up the national pride of France. The recognized classic, playwright, novelist, the sun of French poetry, resting in the pantheon, for French literary criticism and criticism, paradoxically, turned out to be quite controversial. Works that make fun of his work and openly slander him are much more than an objective and balanced assessment of him as a poet, playwright and a novel writer. His fate is filled with a constant confrontation with the authorities, which followed that exile from his beloved France for many years and a triumphal return to his homeland. The book “Victor Hugo” of the Soviet writer and translator Mikhail Treskunov is inherently a historically reliable literary study of the creativity of the author of the “Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God”, “outcasts”, “hardened workers”, “a person who laughs” and at the same time a whole and detailed biography of the life of the French writer - about how he was.
