{"product_id":"les-miserables-signet-classics-1","title":"Les Miserables (Signet Classics)","description":"NOW A SIX-PART MINISERIES ON MASTERPIECE ON PBS\n\nThe only completely unabridged paperback edition of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece—a sweeping tale of love, loss, valor, and passion.\n\nIntroducing one of the most famous characters in literature, Jean Valjean—the noble peasant imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread—Les Misérables ranks among the greatest novels of all time. In it, Victor Hugo takes readers deep into the Parisian underworld, immerses them in a battle between good and evil, and carries them to the barricades during the uprising of 1832 with a breathtaking realism that is unsurpassed in modern prose.\n\nWithin his dramatic story are themes that capture the intellect and the emotions: crime and punishment, the relentless persecution of Valjean by Inspector Javert, the desperation of the prostitute Fantine, the amorality of the rogue Thénardier, and the universal desire to escape the prisons of our own minds. Les Misérables gave Victor Hugo a canvas upon which he portrayed his criticism of the French political and judicial systems, but the portrait that resulted is larger than life, epic in scope—an extravagant spectacle that dazzles the senses even as it touches the heart.\n\nTranslated by Lee Fahnestock and Norman Macafee, based on the classic nineteenth-century Charles E. Wilbour translation\n\nInlcudes an Introduction by Lee Fahnestock\nand an Afterword by Chris Bohjalian\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 045141943X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.045141943X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hugo, Victor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass Market Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
