Although Hugo was fascinated by poems from childhood on, he spent some
time at the polytechnic university of Paris until he dedicated all his
work to literature. He was one of the few authors who were allowed to
reach popularity during his own lifetime and one of the leaders of French
romance.
After the death of his daughter Leopoldine in 1843, he started a
career in politics and became member of the Paris chamber where he
fought for leftist ideas. After the re-establishing of monarchy, he had to
go into exile to Guernesey (1851-1870) where his literary work became
more important, e.g. "Les Miserables" was written during that period.
After his return to Paris he did not join politics anymore.
