Victor Hugo was a French poet and novelist during the Romantic Movement. Within his birthplace he is most celebrated for his poetry, but outside, the rest of the world fell in love with his novels. Both Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame brought him immense fame and wealth within his lifetime; in fact, his popularity grew to such an extent that his funeral was attended by two million people.
