Synopsis
So rich in drama that it has been adapted many times for stage and screen, "Les Mis" blends adventure with social commentary. A convict's heroic struggle for justice and redemption plays out against a fiery backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. This edition features the excellent original translation and a sensitive abridgment.

Review
"Rich and gorgeous. This is the [translation] to read... and if you are flying, just carry it under your arm as you board, or better still, rebook your holiday and go by train, slowly, page by page."
--Jeanette Winterson, The Times (London)
--The Denver Post "A new translation by Julie Rose of Hugo's behemoth classic that is as racy and current and utterly arresting as it should be."
--Buffalo News (editor's choice) "Vibrant and readable, idiomatic and well suited to a long narrative, [Julie Rose's new translation of Les Miserables] is closer to the captivating tone Hugo would have struck for his own contemporaries."
--Diane Johnson "A lively, dramatic, and wonderfully readable translation of one of the greatest 19th-century novels."
--Alison Lurie "Some of us may have read Les Miserables back in the day, but... between Gopnik and Rose, you'll get two introductions that will offer you all the pleasures of your college instruction with none of the pain."
--The Agony Column (trashotron.com)
