VICTOR HUGO
Profession: Writer
Profession: WriterCountry of Origin: France
Country of Asylum: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Date of birth:
26 February 1802For nearly 20 years, Victor Hugo, one of the greatest writers France has ever known, was banished from the Empire. But far from being forgotten, he came to symbolize the struggle of the individual for justice and freedom.
Victor Hugo was already revered and honored as a great poet when the future Napoleon III overthrew the Second French Republic in 1851. However, he had also become active in the political arena and was forced to leave the country. He was left with no choice, although he observed ruefully, "One does not even have the satisfaction of being oppressed by something great."
