Product Description

 
Few novels ever swept the world with such overpowering impact as "Les Miserables". Sensational, dramatic, packed with rich excitement and filled with the sweep and violence of human passions, "Les Miserables" is not only a superb adventure but a powerful social document. The story of how the convict Jean Valjean struggles to escape his past and reaffirm his humanity in a world brutalized by poverty and ignorance became the gospel of the poor and oppressed. With eight pages of photos from the movie that stars Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman and Claire Danes.

Les Miserables, Read the book, see the play.

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a moving story of the power of love and perseverance.
Review: About twenty five years ago my wife and I were staying at a bed and breakfast on an Island off Rhode Island. In our room, that was full of antiques, was a small library of books. In it was a copy of Les Miserables that was printed before the turn of...

A Masterpiece of Character Development

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2000
Review: ?Yes, as much as it is permitted man to will, I come to destroy human fate, I condemn slavery, I drive away poverty, I teach ignorance, I treat sickness, I light up the night, I hate hatred. That is what I am, and that is why I wrote Les...

Victor Hugo's Les Miserables Didn't Make Me Miserables...er, Miserable

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: is a happy fella. And kinda pedantic.
Review: Victor Hugo was so ingenious that even Ayn Rand sympathized with him. Yes, Ayn "Judge and Prepare to be Judged" Rand. Les Miserables accentuates and explores its kaleidoscope of characters magnanimously---------some are largely symbolic and ideal...

Professional Reviews

  Atlantic Monthly: "From the bare abstract, the story does not seem to promise much pleasure to novel-readers, yet it is all alive with the fiery genius of Victor Hugo, and the whole representation is so intense and vivid that it is impossible to escape from the fascination it exerts over the mind. Few who take the book up will leave it until they have read it through. It is morbid...but its morbid elements are so combined with sentiments abstractly Christian that it is calculated to wield a...pernicious influence.... Its tendency is to weaken that abhorrence of crime which is the great shield of most of the virtue which society possesses, and it does this by attempting to prove that society itself is responsible for crimes it cannot prevent, but can only punish....Considered as a passionate romance, appealing to the sympathies of the ordinary readers of novels, it will do infinitely more harm than good."

Paperback, Les Miserables
Few novels ever swept the world with such overpowering impact as LES MISERABLES. Within twenty-four hours of its publication in 1862, the first Paris edition was sold out. In other great cities throughout the world, it was devoured with equal relish. Sensational, dramatic, packed with rich excitement and filled with the sweep and violence of human passions, LES MISERABLES is not only a superb adventure but a powerful social document. The story of how the convict Jean Valjean struggles to escape his past and reaffirm his humanity in a world brutalized by poverty and ignorance became the gospel of the poor and the oppressed. One of the greatest works in Western literature, LES MISERABLES is an exhilarating and deeply profound reading experience.
