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 Légende des siècles’. Outside of his native country, Hugo’s best-known works are his novels: ‘Les Misérables’ (1862) and ‘Notre-Dame de Paris’ (1831), commonly known as ‘The Hunchback of Notre-Dame’. Aside from his literary achievements, he also produced over 4, 000 beautiful drawings and was a prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including the abolition of capital punishment.
