Written by Victor Hugo in 1834, "Claude Gueux" is a short story considered to be an example of early 'true crime' fiction. Within it, Hugo presents his still-developing ideas concerning societal injustice three decades before he would imbue them into his seminal novel "Les Miserables". An exciting and thought-provoking tale, "Claude Gueux" constitutes a must-read for fans of Hugo's work. Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La L?gende des si?cles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Mis?rables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831), commonly known as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Aside from his literary achievements, he also produced over 4,000 beautiful drawings and was a prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including abolishing capital punishment. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.… (altro)

Cette tête de l’homme du peuple, cultivez-la, défrichez-la, arrosez-la, fécondez-la, éclairez-la, moralisez-la, utilisez-la ; vous n’aurez pas besoin de la couper.

En 1832, alors que Victor Hugo s’est déjà engagé contre la peine de mort en publiant notamment Le dernier jour d’un condamné à mort quelques années plus tôt, il apprend le procès plus l’exécution d’un certain Claude Gueux. Il décide alors d’un tirer une nouvelle qu’il publiera 1834, personnifiant en Claude Gueux non seulement son refus de la peine capitale mais surtout son indignation contre un système social et judiciaire qui crée les voleurs et les assassins.
Ce court récit n’est pas le meilleur exemple de la prose de Victor Hugo, que je trouve ici un peu trop didactique. Ce récit ne m’a pas autant remuée que Le dernier jour d’un condamné à mort et, s’il est tout à fait louable sur le fond, la forme ne me semble pas à la hauteur, ni du sujet ni de la plume.
Cette nouvelle, qui se rapproche des Misérables par l’époque contemporaine d’Hugo qui y est décrite et par son thème social fonctionne comme si Hugo avait voulu isoler un des maux de sa société qu’il exècre le plus afin de le mettre en pleine lumière. Plus que le Hugo écrivain, c’est le Hugo politique, le Hugo tribun qui écrit ce livre. Une démonstration claire, implacable, presque trop simple. En nous invitant à aller voir au-delà des faits, à comprendre (ce qui ne veut pas dire excuser), Hugo délivre un message qui est toujours d’actualité dans notre société où les inégalités se renforcent. Trois jours de pain, cinq ans de prison. On paie parfois encore son pain aussi cher que cela sous nos cieux.

Claude Gueux

Short but powerful story showing the lengths a man will go to when unjustly condemned for stealing to feed his hungry family. This was written as a young man but also shows the fiery passion for social justice that is more closely identified with the author's later years. ( )
