Ninety-three, the last of Victor Hugo's novels, is regarded by many including such diverse critics as Robert Louis Stevenson and André Maurois as his greatest work. 1793, Year Two of the Republic, saw the establishment of the National Convention, the execution of Louis XVI, the Terror, and the monarchist revolt in the Vendée, brutally suppressed by the Republic. Hugo's epic follows three protagonists through this tumultuous year: the noble royalist de Lantenac; Gauvain, who embodies a benevolent and romantic vision of the Republic; and Cimourdain, whose principles are altogether more robespierrean.The conflict of values culminates in a dramatic climax on the scaffold.

Las Cartas persas (1721) es la obra germinal de la novela epistolar y de intencion satirica. Mediante el recurso de las cartas de personajes extranjeros se satirizan las instituciones y costumbres propias. Dichos personajes, portadores de una nueva mirada, dejan en evidecia con su aparente ingenuidad, la autocomplacencia de la sociedad francesa en la bondad de su vida y usos sociales.
