Victor Hugo: Les Miserables (Unabridged Paperback Edition)
The only completely unabridged paperback edition of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece—a
sweeping tale of love, loss, valor, and passion.
Introducing one of the most famous characters in literature, Jean Valjean—the
noble peasant imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread—Les Misérables ranks
among the greatest novels of all time. In it, Victor Hugo takes readers deep into
the Parisian underworld, immerses them in a battle between good and evil, and carries
them to the barricades during the uprising of 1832 with a breathtaking realism that
is unsurpassed in modern prose.
Within his dramatic story are themes that capture the intellect and the emotions:
crime and punishment, the relentless persecution of Valjean by Inspector Javert, the
desperation of the prostitute Fantine, the amorality of the rogue Thénardier,
and the universal desire to escape the prisons of our own minds. Les Misérables
gave Victor Hugo a canvas upon which he portrayed his criticism of the French political
and judicial systems, but the portrait that resulted is larger than life, epic in
scope—an extravagant spectacle that dazzles the senses even as it touches the
heart.
