Product Description
From Amazon
Dans la production littéraire prodigieuse de Victor Hugo, Quatre-vingt-treize est la dernière œuvre de l'exil, une vaste fresque historique publiée en 1874, entre la première édition des Châtiments et la dernière série de La Légende des siècles. C'est donc une œuvre de la maturité, celle d'un homme éprouvé, fort de ses combats, de ses engagements, de sa réputation, au sommet de sa puissance dramatique.
Comme son titre l'indique, Quatre-vingt-treize est l'épopée de la Révolution française, racontée à travers trois personnages symboliques : un vieil aristocrate, le marquis de Lantenac, son neveu, Gauvain, un noble rattaché aux humbles, et un homme du peuple, Cimourdain, père adoptif de Gauvain. C'est donc les liens familiaux qui unissent ses personnages avant de les voir plonger dans la tourmente des événements, et lutter les uns contre les autres. Soit par convictions de rang et de classe, soit par raison, soit encore pour un idéal. Dans l'effervescence des actes sanguinaires, seul le peuple, consciemment ou inconsciemment, semble s'imposer en héros. Résonnant comme en écho aux turbulences de la Commune, l'œuvre délivre les préoccupations sociales et humanistes d'Hugo, son idée de la fatalité, dans une imposante lutte entre le bien et le mal. --Céline Darner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Ayn Rand is the Authority for this review,
By Adam N. Cassie (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: QUATRE-VINGT-TREIZE -NE (Mass Market Paperback)
Refer to Ayn Rand's non-fiction bood entitled "The Romantic Manifesto" There's an excellent introduction to Victor Hugo's Ninety-Three. That's what made me want to read it and why I continue to read it over and over.

Hugo was a genius,
This review is from: QUATRE-VINGT-TREIZE -NE (Mass Market Paperback)
...not that that is an unknown fact. I encountered this book while writing an honors undergraduate history thesis on the revolt in the Vendee--which is the setting for this book. Reading Ninety-Three was amazing, it is both a literary masterpiece and an historical commentary that is shockingly ahead of its time. Hugo balances carefully between his own personal belief in the French Republic, and his distaste for the methods used by the Republicans in 1793. His characters are vivid allegories, and the novel is peppered with small parables. It is a story where the "giants" of Robespierre, Marat and Danton become less important than three small children, where the Republic of Swords must face the Republic of Ideas.This is a must for anyone studying the French Revolution, especially the counter-Revolution. It is also one of the finest pieces of prose fiction I've read in quite a while. I don't think I could possibly say enough in its praise! Enjoy it!
