The poems are accompanied by an introduction framing them within the author’s experience as an exile and tracing their publication history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictor Hugo is one of the most important figures in the history of French literature, and this beautifully rendered translation brings two of his lesser-known works deservedly to the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swan Isle Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034564804848,"sku":"9780983322047","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780983322047_p0.jpg?v=1763890495","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983322047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
