He is not a reporter of the momentary, but an artist who projects the essential and fundamental. He is not a statistician of gutter trivia, but a Romanticist who presents life \"as it might be and ought to be.\" He is the worshipper and the superlative portrayer of man's greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are struggling to hold your vision of man above the gray ashes of our century, Hugo is the fuel you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne cannot preserve that vision or achieve it without some knowledge of what is greatness and some image to concretize it. Every morning, when you read today's headlines, you shrink a little in human stature and hope. Then, if you turn to modern literature for a nobler view of man, you are confronted by those cases of arrested development--the juvenile delinquents aged thirty to sixty--who still think that depravity is daring or shocking, and whose writing belongs, not on paper, but on fences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you feel, as I do, that there's nothing as boring as depravity, if you seek a glimpse of human grandeur--turn to a novel by Victor Hugo. - AYN RAND\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.08 x 8.84 x 5.86 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42107794915463,"sku":"9781889439310","price":68.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/cc0a704db095598f8a718e79b8832284.webp?v=1732459384","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/ninety-three-hardcover-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
