Victor Hugo … Les Miserables – 1
Hugo’s Les Miserables (1862), with its breadth of vision and underlying truth, its moments of lyricism passion, is one of the great works of Western literature.
Many of the characters are well known; Valjean, the criminal trying to escape his reputation; Javert, the police agent trailing him ; the unfortunate Fantine and her daughter Cosette ; the rascally Thenardier and above all the splendid street urchin, Gavroche. Among his unforgettable descriptions are those of the Paris sewers, the battle of Waterloo and the fighting at the barricades during the July Revolution.
There are few plete, or more vivid pictures of France at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is at once a thrilling narrative and a social document embracing a wider field than any other novel of its time.
The cover shows a detail from ‘Le Repas des Pauvres’ by Alphonse Legros, in the Tate Gallery.
