André Morois, a classic of French literature of the XX century, a true master of psychological prose, became famous also as the author of novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, George Sand and others. One of the best of his books in this genre - "Olimpio, or the Life of Victor Hugo" - is dedicated to the great Frenchman, who left an inimitable mark in the history of not only French but also European culture. Famous poet, playwright, prose writer, Victor Hugo bravely rushed into politics, became a peer of France, the defender of the rejected and persecuted. For the ideals of freedom and democracy, he fought on the barricades, and then spent almost twenty years in exile. Compatriots considered Hugo the conscience of the nation, not without reason Romain Rolland called him "the Lion of Tolstoy of French literature. André Morois with inimitable skill creates an amazingly vivid portrait of this multifaceted man.
