Abstract

A great poet and playwriter, Victor Hugo also wrote novels: Les misérables is a benchmark in the epic genre´s evolution. Paralel to the author´s activism in defense of the poor and opressed, it highlights Romanticism´s humanitarian vocation, as well as its messianism and titanic breath. In Brazilian literature, the Master left its imprinting in many disciples, among them Castro Alves and Euclides da Cunha.
