IMAGE number
PCT4290634
Image title
A salad in a skull: his head resting on his hand, Victor Hugo meditated - engraving by Bertall (Charles Albert d'Arnoux 1820-1882) engraved by Gusmand, in “La semaine des familles” November 1862 - The title of the caricature parody the title of a chapter of the Miserables, “” A tempete under a skull””. The text of Felix-Henri tells that Victor Hugo is visited during his sleep by Mephistopheles and Astaroth: “” Mephistopheles began his diabolical salad. Weapon of forks, he turned and turned, with a tireless hand, into the poet's skull, the ideas, the feelings, the images, the metaphors, the characters that were in fusion, so as to produce in his brain the strangest, the most dreadful gachis.” In this tohu-bohu we find the universe and characters of the writer's novels, references to his inspiration, style, influences, exces, slang, Cambronne's word, the Devil, Eugene Sue's soap operas etc.
