Victor Hugo
| Victor-Marie Hugo was a French propaganda writer and mason, used in program Romanticism. His patron was Louis XVIII Bourbon. In 1831 he wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame (church with gargyoles, built by Knights Templar) with characters Quasimodo (=the Fool), Esmeralda (= emerald tablet of Thoth) and alchemist Claude Frolio. The Notre-Dame was dedicated to Virgin Mary and the location of the coronation of Henry VI Lancaster and Napoléon. In 1862 he wrote Les Misérables about the 1832 June Rebellion (subject of social injustice as populist propaganda). In 1869 he wrote The Man Who Laughs during his Jersey Exile (after Napoleon III became king). |  |
The work tells of a secret association in Spain, of nomads named the Comprachicos, who existed in the 14th and 15th Centuries. They would kidnap children, or buy children from people forced into a life of poverty. They would take these children and, through body manipulation and/or psychological torture, turn them into circus oddities, for the benefit of the Nobility.
Mark Twain wrote a parody of The Man Who Laughs, equating the protagonist Gwynplaine with Andrew Johnson, vice-president of Abraham Lincoln (shot in theater).
The Hunchback of Notre Dame mentions alchemist Nicolas Flamel.
He was a member of the Parisian Club des Hashishiens (experiments with hashish) with Jacques-Joseph Moreau (Hashish and Mental Illness), Arthur Rimbaud, Honoré de Balzac, Gérard de Nerval (Romanticism), Alexandre Dumas, Théophile Gautier (theory of modernism with mason John Ruskin), Paul Verlaine, jesuit Eugène Delacroix, jesuit Charles Baudelaire (Decadance movement)
He was a friend of Franz Liszt. Auguste Rodin made a portrait of him. He was a member of the Académie Française, established by Cardinal Richelieu.
He was in contact with Louise Michel, a fake anarchist used during the Paris Commune.
His brother Abel Hugo married Julie de Montferrier who had studied with Jacques-Louis David.
He wrote Ninety Three about the French Revolution in 1793 (93 is the most important number in Crowley's Thelema).
