Explanation:

Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English writer and novelist, one of the most recognized of universal literature, and the most outstanding of the Victorian era. He was master of the narrative genre, to which he printed certain doses of humor and irony, while practicing a sharp social criticism. His works include descriptions of people and places, both real and imaginary. On occasion, he used the pseudonym Boz. Victor Marie Hugo was a French poet, playwright and romantic novelist, considered one of the most important in the French language. He was also a politician and intellectual committed and influential in the history of his country and nineteenth-century literature. He contributed in a remarkable way to the lyrical and theatrical renewal of the time; He was admired by his contemporaries and still is today, although some modern authors consider him a controversial writer. His political involvement, which condemned him to exile during the twenty years of the Second French Empire (1852-1870), allowed later generations of writers to reflect on the involvement and commitment of writers in political and social life.
