Claude Gueux is a short novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1834. The story is inspired by a real event and addresses themes such as social injustice and the death penalty. Claude Gueux, a poor and uneducated man, is imprisoned for stealing bread to feed his family. In prison, he becomes a leader among the inmates and fights against the harsh conditions of the prison system. The novel is a critique of society and the laws that punish the most disadvantaged, and a plea against capital punishment.
French novelist, poet and dramatist, leading figure of Romanticism and author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
