NOW A SIX-PART MINISERIES ON MASTERPIECE ON PBS
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.
Translated by Lee Fahnestock and Norman Macafee, based on the classic nineteenth-century Charles E. Wilbour translation
