Synopsis "Los Miserables (in Spanish)"

Considerada para muchos como la mejor novela del escritor francés Victor Hugo (1802-1885), es una obra monumental por su extensión, por la intensidad de su trama y por su influencia. Representante del más puro Romanticismo se anticipa a las obras realistas de Balzac y naturalistas de Zola. Por ella desfilan los personajes que caracterizaron el convulso siglo XIX, presidiarios, eclesiasticos, revolucionarios, pobres, burgueses, policías, perseguidos... en una especie de gran teatro del mundo con un denominador común: la defensa de la libertad y la lucha contra la injusticia. Ha sido llevada varias veces al cine y convertida últimamente en un gran musical.

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.
