Description
93 is Victor Hugo's last novel, published when he was seventy years old, but it had been on his mind as a subject for many years. In it we find his final thoughts, developed over the decades of his life. Although it is a historical novel, it is deeply intellectual in nature and presents the question of revolution as a highly controversial topic. Hugo moves from a fanatical monarchist to a fierce critic of the evils of the individual monarchy, with its authoritarianism, cruelty, and bias towards the nobility and the affluent classes in French society before the 1789 revolution, to a supporter of the democratic and libertarian trends that led to the Republic.
This book was written by Victor Hugo and is copyrighted by the author.
