Sinopsis

The Complete Novels of Victor Hugo offers a profound glimpse into the human experience, showcasing the author's mastery in weaving complex narratives that intertwine themes of love, justice, and social revolution. With rich, emotive prose and an often lyrical style, Hugo delves into the moral and philosophical dilemmas of his time, embodying the spirit of Romanticism. This collection encompasses his most celebrated works, including the timeless epic 'Les Mis√©rables' and the haunting 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame,' reflecting both personal struggles and societal critiques against a backdrop of 19th-century France, where he was deeply engaged with the sociopolitical issues of his era. Victor Hugo, a towering figure in French literature, was not only a novelist but also a playwright and poet, whose political activism heavily influenced his writing.

Hugo's experiences with exile and his profound empathy for humanity shaped the narratives of his novels, imbuing them with a sense of urgency and social responsibility. This compendium is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay of literature and social consciousness. Hugo's compelling characters and narratives invite readers to reflect on moral values and the complexities of life. Engaging with this collection will not only deepen your appreciation for Hugo'Äôs literary genius but also resonate with contemporary ethical dilemmas, making it essential reading for both students and aficionados of literature.

Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
 
Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
 
In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
 
These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
