MONTBLANC Limited Edition Victor Hugo Writers Edition FP/RB/MP Set 125496

 About The Author

   Victor Hugo started his career as a writer at a young age and was, simply put, a literary genius. His first published collection of poetry was released when he was only 20 years old and earned him a royal pension from the King of France at the time, Louis XVIII. Victor Hugo truly committed his life to his craft, eventually producing generation-spanning works such as Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame that remain impactful and heavily praised to this day.

Victor Hugo’s works have been adapted for film and theater dozens of times, including as a lovable cartoon accessible to children in Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. His works helped to shape French romanticism and the art of literature was forever changed by his touch. The Hunchback of Notre Dame ignited the historical preservation movement in France and brought huge popularity to Gothic revival architecture. Even the Notre Dame Cathedral itself provides that most of its present-day appearance was brought about by the success of this one piece of literature. Nearby, at France’s Panthéon Monument, Victor Hugo is honored by Interment alongside France’s greatest and most influential revolutionaries, government officials, scientists and artists.
