françois-victor hugo

françois-victor hugo -lrb- 28 october 1828 -- 26 december 1873 -rrb- was the fourth of five children of french novelist victor hugo and his wife adèle foucher .
françois-victor is best known for his translations of the works of william shakespeare into french , which were published in 18 volumes between 1859 and 1866 .
françois-victor was politically active , helping his father publish two newspapers -- `` the event '' -lrb- `` l'Événement '' , 1848 -- 1851 -rrb- and `` the reminder '' -lrb- `` le rappel '' , 1869 -rrb- -- both of which were shut down for political reasons .
he followed his father into exile on jersey in 1852 ; while there , he assisted his elder brother charles , a pioneering photographer , in creating portraits of the hugo family and others .
françois-victor also published a book , `` the unknown normandy '' -lrb- `` la normandie inconnue '' -rrb- , in 1857 .
the hugos returned from exile in 1870 , after the declaration of the french third republic , but françois-victor died only a few years later , aged 45 .
because of victor hugo 's antipathy to the catholic church , he insisted that his son be buried without a crucifix or priest .
