Reading of texts by Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo, the rebel
“Those who live are those who struggle; they are those whose soul and forehead are filled with a firm design; those who with a high destiny climb the bitter summit; those who walk in thought, in love with a sublime goal; Having before their eyes night and day, / Or some holy toil or some great love."

In the Oval Room, from the tables to the green opaline globes to the corridors to the perfectly tidy books, you will find actors who will read, say, the brilliant words of the man who, in 1881, bequeathed to the National Library all his manuscripts.
