Graham Robb's Whitbread Biography Award-winning life does full justice to what he calls \"the most lucid case of madness in literature,\" grasping Hugo in his every disguise and rewarding readers with a panorama of French and European society from the Revolution to the dawn of the twentieth century. The \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e called it \"both necessary and highly readable\" and a work that \"easily outclasses all existing Hugo biographies in English.\" Lively, argumentative, and unafraid of its subject's contradictions, it is the definitive portrait of the giant of the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Graham Robb \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 500\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43717689147611,"sku":"9780330337076-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780330337076_46629c9a-d537-4e41-bafe-1ce84d0dcec6.jpg?v=1669282577","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780330337076-secondhand-victor-hugo","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
