Selected Poems: Dual-Language Edition Paperback - 2002 - 2002nd Edition
by Victor Hugo; Brooks Haxton (Translator); Introduction by Brooks Haxton
For most of his life, Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was the most famous writer in the world. His legacy includes the nineteenth century's most celebrated works of drama, fiction, memoir, and criticism. But in his day Hugo was know foremost as a poet-indeed the greatest French poet of the age. He wrote with passion about history, erotic experience, familial love, philosophy, nature, social justice, art, and mysticism.
In this new bicentennial edition, acclaimed poet and translator Brooks Haxton offers an exquisite selection of Hugo's finest work: love poems, historical tableaux, elegy, and idyll, including his incomparable "Boaz Asleep," which Marcel Proust praised as the most beautiful poem of the nineteenth century.
"One of those rare and providential minds who in the domain of literature bring about the salvation of us all." (Charles Baudelaire)
