From the Back Cover
" ... Quel miracle que ta pièce, mon pauvre bien-aimé... Jamais je n'avais rien entendu de si magnifique... C'est une richesse, une magnificence, un éblouissement... mon esprit en est encore plus obscurci, comme quand les yeux ont trop longtemps fixé le soleil... " Juliette Drouet. " A propos, Ruy Blas est une énorme bêtise, une infamie en vers... " Balzac. " Quelle brusque et prodigieuse fanfare dans la langue que ces vers de Victor Hugo ! " Emile Zola. " ... ou Ruy Blas est une gageure contre le bon sens, ou c'est un acte de folie. " Gustave Planche. Un texte qui soulève des passions aussi contraires... Il ne reste vraiment plus qu'à le lire si l'on veut s'en faire une idée.

The English Tranlation of Victor Hugo's "Ruy Blas",
By "paul@bonsor.demon.co.uk" (COLCHESTER, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews I have adopted the twelve syllable metre of rhyming verse, because it is the nearest approach possible to the great original, and carries out the design I had from the first, namely: to render into English the form, as well as, if possible, the spirit of the great French drama. End of quote. The story is of court intrigue in Spain in the late seventeenth century but Victor Hugo is writing about human nature in general. Not a pretty sight ! It is strange for the modern reader to be presented with social attitudes of a bygone age and they are rather difficult for us to appreciate but that is, presumably what it was like in those days. How the world has changed ! Rather frustratingly, we do not know the translator's name or when the work was done but I am impressed with his effort. In my opinion, this is certainly worth reading for it's own sake as well as being an excellent pre-cursor to reading it French.

Definetely close to real life.,

This review is from: RUY BLAS (Mass Market Paperback)
I totally enjoyed reading Ruy Blas because it dramatically presents a situation that anyone could live. The character Ruy Blas himself and the relationship he has with the Queen, is one of the most realistic ones I have seen in a play. Not only because he is French, Hugo deserves a 5-star rating on this book!
