Items related to Les Miserables
Jean Valjean is free after nineteen years in prison. However, his reentry into society will be anything but easy. During his long struggle to succeed as an honest man, his life is shaped by the fates of the impoverished Fantine and her daughter Cosette, the despicable Thenardier, the young student Marius, and the obsessive police inspector Javert. Each character plays an unforgettable part in Hugo’s master work. Victor Hugo's spectacular novel is set in the tempest-tossed nineteenth century Paris. His work explores social justice, human rights, and, most memorably, the power of grace. This edition features Isabel F. Hapgood's translation of Les Miserables, it is complete and unabridged.

Review:
Book Description:
"Hugo's genius was for the creation of simple and recognizable myth. The huge success of "Les Miserables "as a didactic work on behalf of the poor and oppressed is due to his poetic and myth-enlarged view of human nature." V. S. Pritchett
"It was Tolstoy who vindicated [Hugo's] early ambition by judging "Les Miserables "one of the world's great novels, if not the greatest [His] ability to present the extremes of experience 'as they are' is, in the end, Hugo's great gift." From the Introduction by Peter Washington"
An abridged edition of Victor Hugo's masterful novel of nineteeth century Parisian life.
