Victor Hugo rencontre plusieurs fois le spectacle de la guillotine et s'indigne de ce que la société se permet de faire de sang-froid ce qu'elle reproche à l'accusé d'avoir fait. C'est au lendemain d'une traversée de la place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville où le bourreau graissait la guillotine en prévision de l'exécution prévue le soir mème que Victor Hugo se lance dans l'écriture du Dernier Jour d'un condamné qu'il achève très rapidement1. Le livre est édité en février 1829 par l'éditeur Charles Gosselin mais sans nom d'auteur. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

À propos de l'auteur (2018)

Victor Hugo was born in Besançon, France on February 26, 1802. Although he originally studied law, Hugo dreamed of writing. In 1819, he founded the journal Conservateur Litteraire as an outlet for his dream and soon produced volumes of poetry, plays, and novels. His novels included The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables. Both of these works have been adapted for the stage and screen many times. These adaptations include the Walt Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the award-winning musical sensation Les Miserables. In addition to his literary career, Hugo also held political office. In 1841, he was elected to the Academie Francaise. After political upheaval in 1851, he was exiled and remained so until 1870. He returned to Paris in 1871 and was elected to the National Assembly, though he soon resigned. He died on May 22, 1885.
