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.
