About Hugo

关于雨果

Victor-Marie Hugo was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights activist and exponent of the Romantic movement in France.

Hugo was the third illegitimate son of Joseph Léopold Sigisbert Hugo (1774–1828) and Sophie Trébuchet (1772–1821); his brothers were Abel Joseph Hugo (1798–1855) and Eugène Hugo (1800–1837). He was born in 1802 in Besançon (in the region of Franche-Comté) and lived in France for the majority of his life. However, he went into exile as a result of Napoleon III’s Coup d’état at the end of 1851. Hugo lived briefly in Brussels (1851) then moved to the Channel Islands, firstly to Jersey (1852–1855) and then to the smaller island of Guernsey (1855–1870). Although a general amnesty was proclaimed by Napoleon III in 1859; Hugo stayed in exile, only ending it when Napoleon III was forced from power as a result of the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. Hugo returned again to Guernsey (1872–1873), after suffering through the Siege of Paris, before finally returning to France for the remainder of his life.

In France, Hugo’s literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. 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. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (also known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame).

Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo’s views changed 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. He is buried in the Panthéon.

贯穿他一生活动和创作的主导思想是人道主义、反对暴力、以爱制“恶”，他的创作期长达60年以上，作品包括26卷诗歌、20卷小说、12卷剧本、21卷哲理论著，合计79卷之多，给法国文学和人类文化宝库增添了一份十分辉煌的文化遗产。雨果几乎经历了19世纪法国的一切重大事变。他从小崇拜法国早期浪漫主义作家夏多布里昂。1827年发表韵文剧本《克伦威尔》和《序言》（1827），《序言》被称为法国浪漫主义戏剧运动的宣言，是雨果极为重要的文艺论著。1830年他据《序言》中的理论写成第一个浪漫主义剧本《欧那尼》，它的演出标志着浪漫主义对古典主义的胜利。特别值得一提的是，1861年，当雨果得知英法侵略者纵火焚烧了圆明园后发出了满腔义愤。他义正词严地写道：“法兰西帝国从这次胜利中获得了一半赃物，现在它又天真得仿佛自己就是真正的物主似的，将圆明园辉煌的掠夺物拿出来展览。我渴望有朝一日法国能摆脱重负，清洗罪责，把这些财富还给被劫掠的中国。”1885年5月22日，法国伟大的民族诗人、著名小说家维克多・雨果在巴黎与世长辞。100多年来，法国人民和世界各国人民一直缅怀这位伟大的法国文化先驱者。雨果的不朽名著《巴黎圣母院》、《悲惨世界》、《九三年》等小说杰作至今为广大人民所喜爱。
