French Writers - Victor Hugo

I wasn’t going to write anything about Victor Hugo, judging him to be sufficiently well-known, but this morning something on the internet made me change my mind.  It was a discussion about theatre and somebody had stated:-  “les Miserables“, meaning “the miserable ones”   It does not.  Les miserables means “the poor”.  And that in turn made me think about Victor Hugo (1802-1885), quite possibly the greatest French writer of all time.
