Victor Hugo (1802–1885) is one of the best-known French writers, most famous for his volumes of lyrical and satirical verse, journalism, his criticism, and several novels, including Les Misérables and Notre-Dame of Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). A committed political activist, he was exiled by Napoleon III until 1870, later returning to great fame. Christine Donougher studied English and French at Cambridge and, after a career in publishing, is now a freelance translator and editor. Her translation of The Book of Nights won the Scott Moncrieff Translation Prize. She lives in Cambridge, England.
