Hernani by Victor Hugo

"Hernani" by Victor Hugo is a drama written in August and September 1829. Set in 1519 Spain, it tells the story of three men—an elderly nobleman, a bandit hiding noble origins, and the King of Spain himself—who all compete for the love of the beautiful Dona Sol. Their rivalry unfolds against a backdrop of political conspiracy and questions of honor, leading to a tragic resolution. The play's premiere sparked such intense controversy that it became known as the "Battle of Hernani," marking a revolutionary moment in French theater. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
