Description

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

With its compelling narrative of love, hate, revenge and redemption, few books can match Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. It was a huge success when published in 1862, thanks to its gripping story, epic sweep and outspoken political message. The story centre on Jean Valjean, imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. Released in 1815, Valjean rises to eminence, but his struggle to achieve respectability is constantly thwarted by an unforgiving society.

Cover design by Jeff Clements. Black and white illustrations derived from the art of De Neuville, Bayard, Morin, Valnay and other prominent French Artists.

Accompanied by a pamphlet: The Divine Stenographer: Truth and Narration in Les Miserables, written by Mario Vargas Llosa.
