"Marion De Lorme" is a five-act play written by Victor Hugo in 1828
about a well-known French courtesan of the same name, who was famous for
her relationships with important contemporary figures. Delorme's later
life has seemingly been imbued with significant legend, having died in
1650 but being often claimed to have lived until as late as 1741 and to
have had a litany of wonderful adventures around the world. "Marion De
Lorme" is highly recommended for lovers of historical fiction, and it is
not to be missed by fans and collectors of Hugo's seminal work. 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 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 abolishing capital
punishment. 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.
