    Victor Hugo's eloquence was on full display in a wide variety of genres, and here we find him substituting for his lawyers in three trials, pleading himself against the withdrawal of Hernani from the Comédie-Française, against the banning of "Le Roi s'amuse" (he was, moreover, an early victim of the dual court system, since the commercial court ruled in 1832 that it was a police measure falling under the jurisdiction of the administrative courts...), and in favor of his son Charles, prosecuted for contempt of law due to the publication of a virulent article against the death penalty. These pages by Victor Hugo are among the finest he wrote on this subject. A captivating collection.
