Enjolras Vampré and the character of Les Misérables

Enjolras Vampré (1885-1938) was one of the pioneering neurologists in Brazil whose name is a tribute to one of the characters of the book Les Misérables (1862), written by Victor Hugo (1802-1885). In this article, the authors point out evidence that the coincident names were not just a matter of homage, and even more so, the life of Dr. Enjolras had many similarities with the interesting character.
