| Victor Hugo - Les Miserables |
| A novel of complete nobility of spirit! Hugo’s massive reputation in France can obscure the fact that he deserves it. ‘Les Mis.’ is Shakespearian in its breadth of vision. The characters of the hunted Jean Valjean and the hunter, the police agent Javert, are well known. Hugo pits the humane against the vindictive in an epic struggle ending in the sewers of Paris. We are taken to the field of Waterloo and to the barricades of the freedom fighters. There is no more complete account of France at the beginning of the 19th Century. This is both a social document and a thrilling lyrical narrative that embraces a wider field than any other novel of its time. |
