Les Miserables tells the story of ex-convict, Jean Valjean, and his valiant struggle to redeem his past. A potent social document of the poverty, ignorance, and brutality of man, Les Miserables is also a rousing adventure story, famous for such unrivaled scenes as the brilliant depiction of the Battle of Waterloo. Victor Hugo reached the peak of his powers in this far-reaching novel of nineteenth-century France. Here are combined the dramatic skills of Hugo the playwright, the rich imagination of Hugo the poet, and the compassion of Hugo the man.

Ett mästerverk verkligen! Förstår att det tog Victor Hugo flera år att skriva klart den då mycket är helt onödigt till storyn men oj vilken bok ändå!

Den får 5stjärnor. För det är ett mästerverk. Men hade den kommit till en förläggare idag hade han behövt kapa minst 30%. Den är alldeles för lång. Det tar 4h innan Valjean ens kommer med i handlingen. Förstår att det tog honom 20år att skriva den 😆
