LibriVox recording of Hans of Iceland by Victor Hugo. (Translated by Abby Langdon Alger.) Read in English by Sonia Hans of Iceland was written in 1821 and is the very first novel written by young Victor, years before he became the great Hugo. It has all the ingredients of a gothic novel: dreadful murders by the hand of a human monster, a young hero in love with the destitute heroine, royal court-intrigues and rebellious uprising, all set in dungeons, dark towers and the untamed nature of Norway. This audio-book has been recorded as Dramatic Reading with all the voices performed by one single reader, including laughs, sobs, groans, occasional screams and a lot of growls. I hope you will enjoy listening to this adventurous journey just as much as I enjoyed recording it. - Summary by Sonia For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.

Victor Hugo
维克多·马里·雨果(法語:Victor Marie Hugo,1802年2月26日—1885年5月22日),法国作家。在经历了19世纪法国許多重大事变的一生中,雨果创作了众多诗歌、小说、剧本、各种散文和文艺评论及政论文章。代表作有《鐘樓怪人》、《九三年》和《悲惨世界》等。在法国,雨果主要以诗集纪念,如《静观集》和《历代传说》。雨果被視為浪漫主義文學的代表人物,以及19世纪前期积极浪漫主义文学运动的领袖,是法国文学史上卓越的作家。
在文學之外,雨果也创作了4000多幅画,积极参与許多社会运动,如废除死刑。年轻时,雨果倾向保皇主义,但随着时间推移而改变,成为共和主义的积极推动者;他的作品触及时政、社会和艺术潮流。雨果被葬于巴黎先贤祠。他的遗产被各种方式纪念,包括法国钞票上的肖像。
