Project Gutenberg 2001-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 909 Hugo, Victor 1802 1885 Hugo, Victor Marie, comte Hugo, Víctor The Memoirs of Victor Hugo Produced by Peter Snow Cao, and Yi Guan Miao Fang Cao Jie, and David Widger "The Memoirs of Victor Hugo" by Victor Hugo is a collection of autobiographical reflections and historical accounts written during the late 19th century. The text follows the life of the renowned French author, providing a vivid portrayal of his experiences and observations throughout a transformative era in France, marked by political upheaval and cultural evolution. The opening of this memoir establishes the dual nature of the work as both historical and intimate, delving into Hugo's personal encounters and impressions of significant events, including the coronation of Charles X and the execution of Louis XVI. The narrative begins with Hugo recalling a trip to Rheims in 1825, where he first heard of Shakespeare, intertwining memories of royal ceremonies with reflections on art and literature. Initial snapshots depict not only the grandeur of the era but also the naïveté and folly of the characters involved in these historical moments. This blend of personal memoir and historical commentary sets the stage for a rich exploration of Hugo's life, littered with anecdotes that reflect the wider societal transformations of his time.
