Synopsis "Bug-Jargal - Claude Gueux (in Spanish)"

La acción de la primera novela transcurre en Santo Domingo en 1791. El esclavo Pierrot está secretamente enamorado de María, la hija de su patrón, prometida a Leopoldo d´Auverney. Durante la rebelión de los negros, María es raptada y d'Auverney sale en busca del raptor; pero, preso de los insurrectos, sería muerto si el jefe de la insurrección, Bug-Jargal (el mismo Pierrot), no lo salvara... Toda la breve novela -publicada en 1825- vive en juegos de antítesis, en exasperados conflictos entre extremada generosidad y desgracia suma.Claude Gueux, el segundo texto, que data de 1834, es la dramática historia de un obrero pobre (gueux significa indigente) que un día robó para córner y fue condenado a cinco años de cárcel. La mayoría de los motivos fundamentales del arte de Hugo, según habrán de manifestarse en Los miserables, por ejemplo, están ya delineados en esta breve aunque densa obra.'

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.
