About the Author

Victor Hugo, the renowned French author born in 1802, stands as one of the towering figures of 19th-century literature, celebrated for his profound exploration of social injustice, human suffering, and the quest for redemption. His epic novel Les Misérables, published in 1862, masterfully weaves the lives of characters like Jean Valjean and Cosette against the backdrop of post-revolutionary France, critiquing poverty, law, and morality with unflinching realism and poetic depth. Hugo's works, translated into numerous languages including the acclaimed Chinese edition by Li Yumin, continue to inspire global audiences, influencing theater, film, and social reform movements worldwide. A passionate advocate for republicanism and human rights, he authored poetry, plays, and essays that reflect his Romantic ideals and commitment to the marginalized.
