Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

Excerpt: "Three hundred and forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago to-day, the Parisians awoke to the sound of all the bells in the triple circuit of the city, the university, and the town ringing a full peal. The sixth of January, 1482, is not, however, a day of which history has preserved the memory. There was nothing notable in the event which thus set the bells and the bourgeois of Paris in a ferment from early morning. It was neither an assault by the Picards nor the Burgundians, nor a hunt led along in procession, nor a revolt of scholars in the town of Laas, nor an entry of "our much dread lord, monsieur the king," nor even a pretty hanging of male and female thieves by the courts of Paris. Neither was it the arrival, so frequent in the fifteenth century, of some plumed and bedizened embassy. It was barely two days since the last cavalcade of that nature, that of the Flemish ambassadors charged with concluding the marriage between the dauphin and Marguerite of Flanders, had made its entry into Paris, to the great annoyance of M. le Cardinal de Bourbon, who, for the sake of pleasing the king, had been obliged to assume an amiable mien towards this whole rustic rabble of Flemish burgomasters, and to regale them at his Hôtel de Bourbon, with a very "pretty morality, allegorical satire, and farce," while a driving rain drenched the magnificent tapestries at his door."

Giới thiệu tác giả

Victor Hugo, born on February 26, 1802, in Besançon, France, stands as a towering figure in French literature and a pivotal voice in the Romantic movement. His life was a tapestry of literary brilliance, political activism, and social reform, making him a fascinating subject for modern readers.Hugo's early years were marked by the tumult of the Napoleonic era, which profoundly influenced his worldview. His father was a general in Napoleon's army, and this exposure to the complexities of power and revolution would later permeate his work. By his twenties, Hugo had already established himself as a leading poet and playwright, but it was his novels that cemented his legacy.A fervent advocate for social justice, Hugo used his literary prowess to champion the downtrodden and criticize the injustices of his time. His works often explored themes of poverty, social inequality, and the human condition, resonating deeply with readers across generations. Hugo's political engagement was not limited to his writing; he was an active participant in the political arena, serving as a deputy in the French National Assembly and later going into exile for his opposition to Napoleon III's regime.Hugo's personal life was as dramatic as his novels. His passionate love affairs, particularly with the actress Juliette Drouet, and his strained relationship with his wife, Adèle Foucher, added layers of intrigue to his public persona. Controversies, such as his outspoken support for the abolition of the death penalty and his criticism of the Catholic Church, further solidified his reputation as a revolutionary thinker.His influence extended beyond literature, inspiring contemporary writers and artists to challenge societal norms and embrace the power of the written word as a tool for change. Victor Hugo's enduring legacy lies not only in his literary masterpieces but also in his unwavering commitment to human rights and social progress, making him a timeless icon for modern readers.
