{"product_id":"satan-and-his-daughter-the-victor-hugo-9780997228731","title":"Satan and His Daughter, the Angel Liberty: Selected Verses","description":"Victor Hugo spent years in political exile off the coast of Normandy. While there, he produced his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eLes Mis rables\u003c\/i\u003e--but that wasn't all: he also wrote a book-length poem, \u003ci\u003eLa Fin de Satan\u003c\/i\u003e, left unfinished and not published until after his death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSatan and his Daughter, the Angel Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e, drawn from this larger poem, tells the story of Satan and his daughter, the angel created by God from a feather left behind following his banishment. Hugo details Satan's fall, and through a despairing soliloquy, reveals him intent on revenge, yet desiring God's forgiveness. The angel Liberty, meanwhile, is presented by Hugo as the embodiment of good, working to convince her father to return to Heaven. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This new translation by Richard Skinner presents Hugo's verse in a unique prose approach to the poet's poignant work, and is accompanied by the Symbolist artist Odilon Redon's haunting illustrations. No adventurous reader will want to miss this beautiful mingling of the epic and familial, religious and political.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor Hugo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0997228733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997228731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swan Isle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Victor Hugo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063736627455,"sku":"9780997228731","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e52c776-4e57-4ca7-8b78-b7b82649892c.jpg?v=1685391344","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/satan-and-his-daughter-the-victor-hugo-9780997228731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
