About this product

Product Information

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) It has been said that Victor Hugo has a street named after him in virtually every town in France. A major reason for the singular celebrity of this most popular and versatile of the great French writers is "Les Miserables "(1862). In this story of the trials of the peasant Jean Valjean--a man unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert--Hugo achieves the sort of rare imaginative resonance that allows a work of art to transcend its genre. "Les Miserables "is at once a tense thriller that contains one of the most compelling chase scenes in all literature, an epic portrayal of the nineteenth-century French citizenry, and a vital drama--highly particularized and poetic in its rendition but universal in its implications--of the redemption of one human being.

OK seller. Said book (paperback les miserables) was good condition, but book is dog eared and beat up. Pages heavily yellowed and smells of spilled perfume. NOT good condition in my view.

    One of literature's truly great stories; an absolute treasure.

    Read and loved this book many years ago, saw the stage play and movie so I wanted to read it again. This unabridged version was a good choice! The powerful story weaves a fascinating tale of unforgettable characters, and is so beautifully written and translated it is like reading prose, sometimes moving the thoughtful reader to tears in its probing of the human conscience and social ills. Readers should be prepared to wade through some chapters on the author's philosophy on history and social issues, but these are artfully interspersed with the movement of the story and development of the characters. Finding it well worth the daunting undertaking of reading 1463 pages, I may just read it again!

    Masterpiece of classic literature.

    Once you get into the book you appreciate the reason for the quite lengthy and detailed descriptions in the first fifty to seventy-five pages. Skimming and skipping some of that, once past it I could not put the book down. This is a masterpiece for those who like classic literature. The translation in this edition is excellent. I like it better than the original translation which I had started out with.

    Les Miserables a New Unabridged Translation by Victor H

    This may be the second greatest story ever told!!! This 1982 version is almost 1500 pages long and starts out slow, but it is just unfolding and preparing to show you its beautiful, breathless story! In the end, this version made me wish it was 3000 pages long! I read this ten years ago in my 20s and now I am reading it again, this time with my 7 year old who is deeply curious about Eponine and what drove her to "rat" on her own father for the love of her life who was in love with another. We listen to the music CD in our car often! :)

    Fast delivery, product was in HORRIBLE state!

    I ordered a NEW book! When the package - and I use the word package lightly because the book was wrapped in a dirty plastic sheet - came to my home it looked horrible, mostly it was filthy and I actually wiped it off with a towel before opening it. I opened the plastic package and take out a book that looked as if someone had dropped it on the floor, kicked it, then let their dog chew on it. On the back cover it seemed like someone had drawn a line across the synopsis with a heavy pencil. The corner of the book actually looked like a dog had gotten at it! I don't believe in returning books I buy, I love books and know that every one has a value, but I intended on shelving this book and adding it to my collection of new books. I was sad to see the book mistreated in such a way and ...

    Great book that’s small physically

    I had a hardcover copy of the book from when I saw the Broadway show in the 1980s. That book was large and easy to handle. The replacement book is small by comparison.
