EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of literary exile as a young schoolboy gazes up at the statue of Victor Hugo in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands. The French novelist and poet, who spent over fifteen years in exile on the island between 1855 and 1870, is depicted in a rugged and dramatic pose on his plinth. Hugo's time in Guernsey, which he spent writing some of his most famous works including "Les Misérables" and "Toilers of the Sea," is an integral part of the island's rich literary history. The date of the photograph is 1914, and the image offers a glimpse into the enduring legacy of Hugo's influence on both the island and the young mind of the schoolboy. The statue, which stands tall against the backdrop of the harbor, serves as a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring allure of the literary greats.
