""The suffrages of the nation, and the oath I have just taken, command my future conduct. My duty is clearly marked. I will fulfill it as a man of honor. I shall regard as the enemies of the country all who seek to change, by illegal means, that which all France has established!"" When he was done speaking, the Constituent Assembly rose, and with a single voice the exclamation shouted: "Long live the Republic!" The small man descended from the tribune and went up to General Cavaignac, offering him his hand. The general, for a few instants, hesitated to accept the grasp. All who had just heard the words of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, pronounced in a tone so imbued with good faith, blamed the general for his hesitation! Victor Hugo (1802-85), son of one of the generals of Napoleon's armies, included among his vast literary output the political portrait "Napolon le petit," first published in 1852.
Autorenporträt
Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French poet, novelist and dramatist of the Romantic movement. Hugo is considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French writers. Outside of France, his most famous works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862 and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, 1831. In France, Hugo is known primarily for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations (The Contemplations) and La Légende des siècles (The Legend of the Ages). Hugo was at the forefront of the romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani. Many of his works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the musicals Notre-Dame de Paris and Les Misérables. He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment.
