Victor Hugo (1802-1885)) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement.
During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
Hugo is considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French writers.
Outside France, his most famous works are the novels Les Misrables, 1862, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, 1831.
In France, Hugo is renowned for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations (The Contemplations) and La Lgende des sicles (The Legend of the Ages).
Hugo was at the forefront of the Romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani.
Many of his works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the musicals Les Misrables and Notre-Dame de Paris.
He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment.

Two days before dying, he left a note with these last words: To love is to act.,
