Hugo: The Strange Life and Visions of Victor Hugo

De: Theodore Nottingham

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Despite the immortal status of Victor Hugo's classic novels and poems, there is much about the man that has remained untold, particularly outside of his native France. Yet his life was as dramatic as the plight of his famous characters. He was plagued with terrible tragedies, swept into a revolution, exiled from his country, and hailed as a hero upon his return during Bismarck's siege of Paris. Most importantly, his writings, and particularly his powerful poetry, are filled with profound insight into the spiritual dimension of human existence. His words are still vital for our time and universal in scope. In the agonies he endured, the excesses he indulged in, and the states of consciousness which burned his soul with mystic awareness, Victor Hugo remains an inspiring figure for humanity in search of meaning. This dramatic biographical story is presented in the form of a screenplay.
