Victor Hugo's impact extends far beyond his renowned works like "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." This literary genius was also a pivotal intellectual figure, shaping key social, political, and philosophical discussions of the 19th century. From advocating for the abolition of poverty to championing the rights of peoples and advocating for free education, Hugo's ideas were ahead of his time. His vision encompassed a wide array of issues, including the fight against the death penalty, the ban on child labor, the emancipation of women, and the concept of a United States of Europe.

Today, his visionary ideals continue to resonate, reflecting his enduring relevance in our ever-evolving world.
