André Maurois, a classic of French literature of the XNUMXth century, a true master of psychological prose, also became famous as the author of novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, George Sand, and others. One of his best books in this genre, Olympio, or the Life of Victor Hugo, is dedicated to the great a Frenchman who left a unique mark in the history of not only French, but also European culture. An illustrious poet, playwright, prose writer, Victor Hugo bravely rushed into politics, became a peer of France, a defender of the outcast 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 "Leo Tolstoy of French literature." André Maurois, with inimitable skill, creates an amazingly vivid portrait of this many-sided man.
