Description:
First edition with a touching autograph dedication by Hugo to his grandniece, Zoé Hugo.
The daughter of Léopold Hugo (1828–1895), a mineralogist and poet, and granddaughter of Abel, Victor’s brother, she lived to the age of just 20.
“To my dear little Zoé / V. H.”, in pen on the half-title page.
Here, Victor Hugo dedicates to her a more personal, family-oriented work, written in memory of his two deceased sons who had accompanied him into exile in Guernsey.
