Synopsis "Hernani (in French)"

... Il y avait péril, en effet, à changer ainsi brusquement d'auditoire, à risquer sur le théâtre des tentatives confiées jusqu'ici seulement, au papier qui souffre tout; le public des livres est bien différent du public des spectacles, et l'on pouvait craindre de voir le second repousser ce que le premier avait accepté. Il n'en a rien été. Le principe de la liberté littéraire, déjà compris par le monde qui lit et qui médite, n'a pas été moins complètement adopté par cette immense foule, avide des pures émotions de l'art, qui inonde chaque soir les théâtres de Paris. Cette voix haute et puissante du peuple, qui ressemble à celle de Dieu, veut désormais que la poésie ait la même devise que la politique: TOLÉRANCE ET LIBERTÉ...

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.
