Le Dernier Jour d'un condamné

by Victor Hugo, Ligaran

Overview

Extrait : "Ceux qui jugent et qui condamnent disent la peine de mort nécessaire. D'abord, parce qu'il importe de retrancher de la communauté sociale un membre qui lui a déjà nui et qui pourrait lui nuire encore. S'il ne s'agissait que de cela, la prison perpétuelle suffirait. A quoi bon la mort vous objectez qu'on peut s'échapper d'une prison ? Faites mieux votre ronde, si vous ne croyez pas à la solidité des barreaux de fer, comment osez-vous avoir des ménageries ?"

About the Author

Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France.

In France, Hugo's literary reputation rests on his poetic and dramatic output. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. In the English-speaking world his best-known works are often the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (sometimes translated into English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame).

Though extremely conservative in his youth, Hugo moved to the political left as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time.
