Published in 1874, "Ninety-Three" was French writer Victor Hugo's last novel published immediately subsequent to the bloody Paris Commune. It deals with the counter-revolutionary revolts in 1793 during the French Revolution, namely those in the Vendee and Chouannerie. "Ninety-Three" is split into three parts, with each part telling a different story and offering a different view of historical events. Highly recommended for those with an interest in French history and the seminal works of Victor Hugo. Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Legende des siecles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Miserables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
