Important French writer, artist, and statesman (1802–1885) best known for such canonical novels as Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (aka The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Much of his literary output was devoted to political and social issues, and in the 1840s he became actively involved in the French government as a legislator and staunch activist on behalf of the Republican cause. In 1851 the controversy surrounding his inflammatory writings denouncing Louis-Napoléon forced him into a two-decade exile, during which his productive creative pace barely slackened. ALS in French, one page, 7 x 9, July 20, 1846. Letter to an unidentified recipient. In part (translated): “I pray M. Duriez…to send me, from my quota of volumes: 1. One complete set of my books, Charpentier Edition. 2. My complete Theatre including Cromwell (same format). 3. Les Feuilles d’automne (same format) I’ll be much thankful. This document can be used as receipt.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, scattered toning and soiling, and several small edge tears and separations. Hugo’s writing is clear and quite dark.
