Synopsis "Han d'Islande (in French)"

A la fin du XVIIème siècle un monstre à face humaine dévaste les campagnes de la Norvège. C'est Han d'Islande. Il vit seul dans les montagnes, en compagnie d'un ours. Il tue par haine de l'humanité. On le dit buveur de sang. Or ce monstre possède une cassette dont le contenu permettrait d'innocenter le Comte de Griffenfeld, l'ancien grand chancelier, déchu de ses fonctions. Le fiancé de sa fille, le capitaine Ordener Guldenlew, part à la recherche de Han et de sa précieuse cassette. On assiste à une chasse au monstre dans les monts sauvages de la Norvège, mais aussi à une révolte de mineurs, fomentée par un ennemi du Comte.

Victor Marie Hugo (Besançon, France, 1802 - 1885) was a writer, poet, playwright, and French politician, a central figure of Romanticism and one of the most influential literary voices of the 19th century. His work includes emblematic novels such as Les Misérables (1862), which denounces social injustice in 19th century France, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831), which powerfully portrays life in medieval Paris. In theater, he revolutionized the genre with plays like Hernani (1830) and Cromwell (1827), while his poetry, highlighted in collections such as Les Contemplations (1856) and The Legend of the Centuries (1859-1883), combines lyricism and social commitment

Exiled for about 20 years due to his opposition to the regime of Napoleon III, he produced many of his most significant works during this period, also expanding his political work as a deputy and senator after his return. He was recognized with membership in the French Academy and the Legion of Honor. His literary and political legacy remains a benchmark for social justice and artistic expression.
