Fantine: Les Misérables (Tome 1)

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Fantine, titre du premier livre des Misérables, s'ouvre sur le long portrait de Mgr Myriel, évêque de Digne, où, malgré son rang, il vit très modestement en compagnie de sa soeur, Baptistine, et d'une servante, Mme Magloire. Ce religieux est un juste qui se contente du strict nécessaire pour distribuer le reste de ses économies aux pauvres. Pénétré de charité chrétienne, il laisse sa porte grande ouverte et fraternise avec ceux que la société rejette. Il s'agit du premier tome de la saga de Victor Hugo Les Misérables.

About the Author

Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the acclaimed novels Les Misérables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). He also produced more than 4,000 drawings, which have since been admired for their beauty, and earned widespread respect as a campaigner for social causes such as the abolition of the death penalty.
