Victor Hogo écrit le compte rendu du procès d'un certain Claude Gueux condamné à mort pour meurtre. On y découvre comme en écho son plaidoyer contre la peine de mort. Inspiré d'une histoire vraie, il décide d'en faire un roman. Il retranscrit donc la vie de Claude Gueux dès son entrée dans la prison jusqu'à son exécution en passant par les motifs de son crime et son procès. Suit une longue réflexion de Victor Hugo sur les rôles et les devoirs de la société face au criminel.

Victor Marie Hugo (Besançon, France, 1802 - 1885) was a writer, poet, playwright, and French politician, a central figure of Romanticism and one of the most influential literary voices of the 19th century. His work includes emblematic novels such as Les Misérables (1862), which denounces social injustice in 19th century France, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831), which powerfully portrays life in medieval Paris. In theater, he revolutionized the genre with plays like Hernani (1830) and Cromwell (1827), while his poetry, highlighted in collections such as Les Contemplations (1856) and The Legend of the Centuries (1859-1883), combines lyricism and social commitment

Exiled for about 20 years due to his opposition to the regime of Napoleon III, he produced many of his most significant works during this period, also expanding his political work as a deputy and senator after his return. He was recognized with membership in the French Academy and the Legion of Honor. His literary and political legacy remains a benchmark for social justice and artistic expression.
