Guernsey dep. UK

Na ostrově Guernsey ve meste Saint Peter Port jsem navštívil dům Victora Huga. Dle francouzského průvodce dům koupil za penize, ktere ziskal prodanim sve anthologie Les Contemplations publikovane v roce 1856.

Victor Hugo byl odsouzen na několik let do vyhnanstvi pro svůj odpor ke Coup d’etat (státní převrat) Napoleonem III (synovcem Napoleona Bonaparte). Měl zakázaný pobyt v Bruselu a na vedlejsim ostrove Jersey. Na ostrově Guernsey žil v letech 1856 – 1870. Zajímavé je, že to byl jediny dum, ktery si tento slavny francouzsky spisovatel kdy koupil. V Parizi, kde trávil vetsinu svého zivota, žil údajně v pronájmu.
