The Tragic Case of France's Schizophrenic Stalker | Adèle Hugo 

When I was 12 or 13, I happened upon The Story of Adele H. It captivated me. I've been a huge fan of Adele Adjani ever since.

I have heard of Adèle Hugo before but you always bring a fresh perspective to these biographies. Now I'm chomping at the bit to watch "The Story of Adèle H" which I've discovered is available to me in my region!

This was a very intriguing and yet heartbreaking story about Adele Hugo. Thank you for sharing this story about a sensitive and yet vital subject which is mental illness. Great investigation and presentation, as usual. Take care 🦋

It's a great bonus when you get a FLives video! You have amazing storytelling ability; your contents are always brilliant! Thank you

I don't mean to recenter her story around a famous man, but something I took away from this is that Victor Hugo had a really, really sad life.

Sounds like she was doing well in her later years. You can live with schizophrenia and depression, it isn’t the end of a person’s life, except that there is risk of suicide. She lived a long life

Great story never heard of Adele till now ,her sad life due to schizophrenia ,was awful,how different her life would have been otherwise, you always are good to listen to ,look forward to the next one

Nico, you're timing on this topic is so serendipitous! Two reasons: I recently learned that "Les Miserables" is actually a book that is 1330 pages long! Over my (long!) lifetime, I've read it multiple times, never realizing that all I was reading were "abridged" versions cut down to 200 or 300 words! I am presently being totally fascinated by Hugo's REAL work! That book is HEAVY, both physically and psychologically! Secondly, I've been studying recent science developments as to the possible cause of schizophrenia. Perhaps a BACTERIA that gets into the brain, through lymph passages that no one knew existed until about 2012. At the same time, (around 2010) a cell that makes up a full 10% of the brain, known as "microglia" was discovered to be able to clip and cut perfectly healthy brain synapses at random! Turns out that cell that everyone ignored for 100 years, MIGHT be part of our immune system. That would make schizophrenia an autoimmune disorder!!! A strange theory, brand new ideas... but when I think of the number of famous people who supposedly had schizophrenia (EG: Joan of Arc!) and if only we knew the causes of the illness, and even better the treatment and/or cure... As always, you do wonderful work, and I am always astounded at the profound respect you show for all these people whose stories you tell.

Mental illness is a terrible burden to bear. Poor thing ❤

Perfect timing! New video on my lunch break? Yes please!

I remember that i fell for heavenly beautiful Isabelle Adjani, when this Film came. I was 16/17 then...😢 Since then i was curious about Adele Hugo. THANK YOU for satisfying my curiosity! ❤❤❤

Interesting woman...thanks for these biographies!! You do such a great job!! 💯👌❤️

Tough one to watch. I’ve dealt with mental illness in my family. Just awful for all involved.

Recovering from gall bladder surgery - great video. Fascinating story Mags ❤

I have been a fan of Victor Hugo for decades at this point. Never really knew much about his family though. This was a very interesting video about Adele!

The movie Adele H, A French film directed by Truffaut is a wonderful film. It pretty much dramatizes this story beautifully.

Perfect documentation for sleeping time, your voice is soothing. Also very informative, must watch it again when more awake..

Brief Case sent me!!! Great story ❤

Men can be so cruel. He actually extorted money from her knowing very well she was not in the right mental state.

The movie about her was incredible. Brilliant actress.

The variety of images and video you chose for this one is superb. Thanks for taking the time to make such nice biographies.

Hi!!! Thats a very interesting story. She followed this man for years...I would like to see the film about her... Im going to order the DVD " Adele H."..Thank You for telling us about her. Yes, I would like more videos like this one...Nice Video!!!...Your fan&friend from USA...🇺🇸🦋

Fascinating and very sad. Your voice and research always make your story telling excellent.

I loved "The Story of Adele H." I've seen it several times over the years. What a wonderful movie! She had such a tragic life.

Another great video, thank you.

She followed him to BARBADOS? Damn

Is it just me or did you follow my suggestion????? This made my day! Thanks.

Pain and emptiness personified. At least her life was documented at least. Many who suffered even now are forgotten to never known even after death. It's unfair and unjust.

Fabulous, as always. What a tragic family in so many ways.

What a fabulous video keep up the good work!!!!❤

Truly appreciate your intriguing videos, many inspire me to further research the subject. Thank you! 🏵️

You have soothing and great research. I enjoy your videos. They have a uniqueness thats captivating. Great work my friend.

That’s so sad. I wonder why family tragedy caused schizophrenia and depression back then :( Maybe it still does…

This was so interesting and beautifully illustrated . Impressive! I’d love more content like this.

Happy Sunday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice biography 🎉 Those days psychiatry wasn’t that developed, otherwise she wd have lived better! Nice info about her father Victor Hugo , reputed writer and philosopher

Poor Adele. Her story is so sad.

Wow what a strange life this young lady had and then into adulthood. Very interesting video , thank you

Always interesting Thank you ❤

I love this channel ❤

A lot of human beings back then experienced the signs and symptoms termed Schizophrenia back then while arsenic was ending up in so many things and while there was no cure for sexual transmitted diseases too. Before lead instead later while the industrial revolution continued on. People like introvert writer Edgar Allen Poe and somewhat more of an extrovert James Joyce too. James Joyce who loved acting the part of Satan during play with all of his friends practising acting at the time when he was a child. Some people back then had more trouble managing those kind of signs and symptoms they were suffering from indoor pollution and urban outdoor pollution too than others did. The Victorian era was horrible for a lot of people. Which leads me to believe that it is possible for a more well known person to be under the delusion that someone is interested in them sexually when they are not at all. The whole story about Victor Hugos relative Adele only reminds me of why a whole lot of poor parents with a young attractive female teenager sometimes starts insisting that she stay home with them most of the time while she is being stalked. In fear that some day soon after getting picked for marriage by that stalker whom she insists is harmless only for him to later decide she is defective by that hubby of hers whereupon he would then throw her out onto the street.

Interesting! I didn’t know her story 😊

This, is so heartbreaking 😢.

You could do a great video just on people that were considered crazy or malingering who actually had illnesses we now recognize.

Vous oublié de dire que son père , Victor Hugo avait une maîtresse , avec qui il a eu de nombreux enfants : peut-être qu'Adèle l'a su et cela a augmenté sa maladie ! Par ailleurs , Hugo prônait que seuls les poètes étaient les seuls à pouvoir diriger la France , soit au gouvernement !

It put me in mind of "The French Lieutenant's Woman" in reverse.

She was the wife in the attic in the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

She was probably bipolar and not schizophrenic. Schizophrenia has a hereditary factor and I doubt she´s have been able organized enough to follow him suffering from schizophrenia. Erotomania is often associated what is today known as BPD. BPD is often linked to trauma. She surely suffered a lot of that during her childhood (father´s affairs, rocky marriage and having to leave her home country). Sad life story of unfulfilled love, being locked away and loneliness. Thank you for covering it.

such an amazing story but a sad ending ! I'm sure there must be many people like Adele right now weather crazy or not . Thanks for another Interesting story from the forgotten past .

You make my Sunday’s fantastic. Thank you for another great episode.🩷☮️

Fascinating. Thank you.

At least she got better in the end.

Very interesting thank you

Very interesting, thank u!!

I would love to see the movie.

Thank you!

Thank you. Enjoyed.

5:52 dannnnnng. “Built and lost a great empire” 😳🤣

Another great video. Can I ask where you are from FL? I can't seem to pinpoint your accent.

Fascinating!!

Thank you

Extortion shows that Albert was using, abusing Adele stressing on her mental health illness! I find it curious that Albert died months after her own death making them both a decent elder age. The uncle Eugene thing is fascinating for sure... peculiar family. I'll have look into the death of her two other brothers?

good video.

The "s" in "les" is silent.

Be still my heart :)

Hugo looks like Liam Nisson.

Isabelle Adjani is stunningly beautiful.

Dude I’m sorry but those intros of yours are seriously creepy. Just blank behind you and the constant blinking and weirdly staring into the camera. Damn man, I can’t get past it and watch the video no matter how interested I might be in the subject. Seriously off putting.
