He is not a reporter of the momentary, but an artist who projects the essential and fundamental. He is not a statistician of gutter trivia, but a Romanticist who presents life \"as it might be and ought to be.\" He is the worshipper and the superlative portrayer of man's greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are struggling to hold your vision of man above the gray ashes of our century, Hugo is the fuel you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne cannot preserve that vision or achieve it without some knowledge of what is greatness and some image to concretize it. Every morning, when you read today's headlines, you shrink a little in human stature and hope. Then, if you turn to modern literature for a nobler view of man, you are confronted by those cases of arrested development--the juvenile delinquents aged thirty to sixty--who still think that depravity is daring or shocking, and whose writing belongs, not on paper, but on fences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you feel, as I do, that there's nothing as boring as depravity, if you seek a glimpse of human grandeur--turn to a novel by Victor Hugo. - AYN RAND\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor Hugo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1889439312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781889439310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paper Tiger (NJ)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 5.86w x 1.08d","brand":"Victor Hugo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991170285823,"sku":"9781889439310","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2604931-f38f-4600-b254-7e969841db2e.jpg?v=1683308838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ninety-three-victor-hugo-9781889439310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
