Synopsis "Bug-Jargal (in French)"

Le capitaine d'Auverney, le narrateur, était chez son oncle, un riche colon de St Domingue, dont il devait épouser la fille, Marie, quand celle-ci a failli être tuée par un crocodile. Elle est sauvée par un esclave noir, Pierrot, visiblement amoureux d'elle. D'Auverney le prend alors sous sa protection, bien qu'il connaisse ses sentiments pour sa fiancée. Le jour même de son mariage, les esclaves se révoltent, et Marie est enlevée. Pierrot, sous le nom de Bug-Jargal, est un des chefs de cette rébellion. Mais les liens d'amitiés sont forts ... (Il s'agit du premier roman de V. Hugo, écrit à 16 ans, en 15 jours)

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.
