Ruy Blas

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Pour se venger de la reine d'Espagne qui l'a disgracié, Don Saluste de Bazan, fait passer son valet, Ruy Blas, pour son cousin Don César. Présenté ainsi à la Cour, Ruy Blas parvient à séduire la reine comme il en avait la mission. Mais il se prend au jeu, devient un excellent ministre, tombe amoureux de la reine, et échappe au contrôle de don Saluste qui veut tendre un piège à la reine pour la ridiculiser. Comme toujours chez V. Hugo, ce drame, qui s'achève en tragédie, comporte aussi de nombreuses scènes comiques.

About the Author

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was an internationally renowned novelist, playwright and poet known for his political activism and human rights advocacy. "If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away," the larger–than–life Victor Hugo once confessed. Indeed, this 19th–century French author's books – from the epic drama Les Misérables to the classic unrequited love story The Hunchback of Notre Dame – have spanned the ages, their themes of morality and redemption as applicable to our times as to his.
