This is the [translation] to read… and if you are flying, just carry it under your arm as you board, or better still, rebook your holiday and go by train, slowly, page by page." -Jeanette Winterson, The Times (London) "[A] magnificent story… marvelously captured in this new unabridged translation by Julie Rose." - The Denver Post "A new translation by Julie Rose of Hugo's behemoth classic that is as racy and current and utterly arresting as it should be." - Buffalo News (editor's choice) "Vibrant and readable, idiomatic and well suited to a long narrative, [Julie Rose's new translation of Les Miserables ] is closer to the captivating tone Hugo would have struck for his own contemporaries." -Diane Johnson "A lively, dramatic, and wonderfully readable translation of one of the greatest 19th-century novels." -Alison Lurie "Some of us may have read Les Miserables back in the day, but… between Gopnik and Rose, you'll get two introductions that will offer you all the pleasures of your college instruction with none of the pain." - The Agony Column (trashotron.com), "Rich and gorgeous.

Edition DescriptionAbridged edition
SynopsisFew novels ever swept across the world with such overpowering impact as Les Mis rables. Within 24 hours, the first Paris edition was sold out. In other great cities of 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 Mis rables is not only superb adventure but a powerful social document. The story of how the convict Jean-Valjean struggled 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., Few novels ever swept across the world with such overpowering impact as Les Misérables.
