Jean Valjean, en utfattig skogsarbetare från byn Faverolles, ställs år 1795 inför rätta efter att ha stulit en bit bröd. Han döms till fem års straffarbete som galärslav. Efter flera misslyckade rymningsförsök, som förlänger hans strafftid, blir han efter nitton långa år i kedjor äntligen fri. Men friheten visar sig snart vara skenbar, för väl ute möter Valjean ett nytt slags fångenskap. Det spelar ingen roll att han avtjänat sitt straff; i samhället är han för alltid stämplad som brottsling och behandlas därefter. Med tiden ger den före detta fången efter för bitterheten och hatet. Han bestämmer sig för att straffa samhället och begår ett nytt brott, en illgärning som ögonblickligen skulle skicka honom tillbaka till galärerna om den blev känd. I och med brottet som Valjean begår träffar han på en biskop som genom en alltigenom god handling får den förbittrade gamle galärslaven att omvärdera allt. Han förkastar sina tidigare synder, kallar sig herr Madeleine och svär att alltid göra gott. Han blir borgmästare i den lilla staden Montreuil-sur-Mer och tar sig an den prostituerade Fantine och hennes dotter Cosette. Men går det att helt utplåna sitt förflutna? Kan det finnas någon som minns den Jean Valjean en gång var – en straffånge på samhällets absoluta botten? Samhällets olycksbarn är en av världslitteraturens allra främsta romaner – ett spännande intrigbygge i humanistisk anda om kärleken, plikten och kampen mellan gott och ont. Verket, som blandar realism och samhällskritik med färgstark romantik, har filmatiserats ett antal gånger och är också den roman som musikalen Les Misérables bygger på. Redan under sin livstid ansågs Victor Hugo (1802– 1885) vara en av Frankrikes främsta författare. Förutom odödliga romaner som Samhällets olycksbarn och Ringaren i Notre Dame skrev han en mängd dramer och poesi och tog också en aktiv del i samhällsdebatten.

Ett myllrande, mörkt, medeltida Paris är scenen för en av världslitteraturens största berättelser. Här får vi möta den döve och vanskapte Quasimodo, uppfostrad innanför katedralens väggar av den mäktige ärkedjäknen Claude Frollo. Quasimodo ansvarar för att det ska ringa i kyrkklockorna. Frollo oroar sig för sin lillebror Jehan och försöker lära sig alkemins hemligheter. Allt förändras när de ser flickan Esmeralda dansa på torget utanför kyrkan. Förälskelsen drabbar dem båda ögonblickligen, med samma förintande kraft. Detta blir inledningen på ett drama som får ett crescendo som inte lämnar någon läsare oberörd.
I Ringaren i Notre Dame målar Victor Hugo (1802–1885) upp skarpa kontraster. Mellan fattig och rik. Vackert och fult. Liv och död. Det är en svidande uppgörelse med medeltidens orättvisor och religionens makt över människorna.

Den fattige skogsarbetaren Jean Valjean fängslas för att ha stulit en bit bröd till sin svältande syster och hennes familj. Han försöker rymma, men kommer inte långt och får i stället sitt straff förlängt. När han efter nitton år till sist får lämna fängelset är det knappast som en fri man. Victor Hugos Samhällets olycksbarn [Les Misérables] är en djuplodande berättelse om plikt, moral, kärlek och människans tidlösa längtan efter frihet, såväl fysisk som andlig. Romanen blev en enorm framgång när den kom ut, räknas sedan länge till de stora klassikerna, och har på 1900-talet bland annat resulterat i den omåttligt populära musikal som bär det franska originalets titel. I översättning och förkortad bearbetning av Jakob Gunnarsson.
VICTOR HUGO [1802-1885] var en fransk författare och medlem av Franska akademien. Han skrev en mängd romaner i spänningsfältet mellan romantik och realism, varav Ringaren i Notre-Dame [1831] och Samhällets olycksbarn [1862] är de mest kända.

A brilliant modern translation by Christine Donougher of Victor Hugo's thrilling masterpiece, with an introduction by Robert Tombs. This is the best translation of the novel available in English, as recommended by David Bellos in The Novel of the Century. Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty.'A magnificent achievement. It reads easily, sometimes racily, and Hugo's narrative power is never let down ... An almost flawless translation, which brings the full flavour of one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century to new readers in the twenty-first' - William Doyle, Times Literary Supplement'The year's most interesting publication from Penguin Classics was [...] a new translation by Christine Donougher of the novel we all know as Les Misérables. You may think that 1,300 pages is a huge investment of time when the story is so familiar, but no adaptation can convey the addictive pleasure afforded by Victor Hugo's narrative voice: by turns chatty, crotchety, buoyant and savagely ironical, it's made to seem so contemporary and fresh in Donougher's rendering that the book has all the resonance of the most topical state-of-the-nation novel' - Telegraph'Christine Donougher's seamless and very modern translation of Les Misérables has an astonishing effect in that it reminds readers that Hugo was going further than any Dickensian lament about social conditions [...]The Wretched touches the soul' - Herald Scotland

Förväxlade identiteter och bortrövade spädbarn ligger till grund för hätska konflikter i Ringaren i Notre-Dame - Victor Hugos myllrande kärleksroman med gestalter som blivit klassiska: den vackra Esmeralda, som väcker kärlek och begär överallt, den groteskt missbildade Quasimodo, hittebarnet som vuxit upp i Notre-Dame i Paris och blivit kyrkans plikttrogna men föraktade ringare. Omkring dem pågår ett maktspel, som lika mycket gäller 1400-talets religiösa och moraliska föreställningsvärld som obesvarad kärlek och hämndlystnad. När Esmeralda döms till döden för häxeri och mord kommer Quasimodo - den oväntade och ovälkomne hjälten - till hennes undsättning. I svensk översättning av Oscar Nachman.

Tolstoy is said to have called Les Miserables the greatest novel ever written, and it exerted a powerful influence on the creation of War and Peace. At one level a detective story in which the relentless Inspector Javert obsessively pursues the escaped convict Jean Valjean, culminating in a dramatic chase through the sewers of Paris, at another level Hugo's masterpiece is a drama of crime, punishment and rehabilitation set against a panoramic description of French society in the years after Napoleon's fall from power. But this book is also about the metaphysical struggle between good and evil in the soul of every man and every community. Coloured by Hugo's distinctive philosophy, it is a plea for social justice, political enlightenment and personal charity which continues to speak with the undiminished authority more than a century after its first appearance.

Les Miserable is the story of Jean Valjean's transformation from criminal to hero, and his dedication to doing good in a world where harsh laws often thwart the most benevolent impulses. Imprisoned for nineteen years after stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving family, Valjean is on the path to becoming a repeat offender when a charitable bishop's act of pity compels him to become an honest man. Over the next two decades, Valjean becomes a successful businessman and a generous benefactor to his orphan ward, Cosette. But the implacable Inspector Javert, who knows of Valjean's criminal past and who enforces the law mercilessly, hounds him from town to town, seeking to apply a standard of justice that does not acknowledge either redemption or rehabilitation. A vivid historical romance whose events climax spectacularly during the Paris Uprising of 1832, Les Miserables was praised by Upton Sinclair as "one of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world." This unabridged edition of Victor Hugo's classic work is as stirring a tale of adventure today as it was when first published in 1862.Les Miserables is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library.

More commonly known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Victor Hugo's Romantic novel of dark passions and unrequited love, Notre-Dame de Paris, is translated with an introduction by John Sturrock in Penguin Classics.In the vaulted Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral lives Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bellringer. Mocked and shunned for his appearance, he is pitied only by Esmerelda, a beautiful gypsy dancer to whom he becomes completely devoted. Esmerelda, however, has also attracted the attention of the sinister archdeacon Claude Frollo, and when she rejects his lecherous approaches, Frollo hatches a plot to destroy her, that only Quasimodo can prevent. Victor Hugo's sensational, evocative novel brings life to the medieval Paris he loved, and mourns its passing in one of the greatest historical romances of the nineteenth century.John Sturrock's clear, contemporary translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing it as a passionate novel of ideas, written in defence of Gothic architecture and of a burgeoning democracy, and demonstrating that an ugly exterior can conceal moral beauty. This revised edition also includes further reading and a chronology of Hugo's life.Victor Hugo (1802-85) was a forceful and prolific writer. He wrote volumes of criticism, Romantic costume dramas, lyrical and satirical verse and political journalism but is best remembered for his novels, especially Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) and Les Miserables (1862) which was adapted into one of the most successful musicals of all time. Though exiled to the Channel Islands by Napoleon III, Hugo returned to Paris in 1870 and remained a great public figure until his death: his body lay in state under the Arc de Triomphe, and he was later buried in the Panthéon.If you enjoyed Notre-Dame de Paris, you might like Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera.'A great writer - inventive, witty, sly, innovatory'A.

"The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness."
"So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Misérables cannot fail to be of use," says Victor Hugo in the preface of his famous novel. Certainly, Les Misérables is French history recounted through the personal stories of its main characters. The tale offers philosophical insight on the good deeds that can happen even amidst ignorance and poverty. This handsome leather-bound volume is a beautiful addition to any classic literature library with specially designed endpapers, gilded edges, and a ribbon bookmark so you will never lose your place.

A new translation by David Bellos of the last great novel by France’s greatest novelist In the turmoil of the French Revolution, the year 1793 represented the peak of bloody revolutionary violence. Victor Hugo plunges into this tumultuous period with a story of courage and betrayal across the political classes. As the revolution rages, three characters – a nobleman turned revolutionary, a devoted mother, and a zealous commander – find their fates intertwined in a struggle that tests their convictions and loyalties. Hugo's last great novel was also his most political and prophetic – and is the equal of Les Misérables in drama, emotion, adventure and sacrifice.

Falsely accused of trying to murder Phoebus, who attempts to rape her, Esmeralda is sentenced to death and rescued from the gallows by Quasimodo who defends her to the last.The subject of many adaptations for stage and screen, this remains perhaps one of the most romantic yet gripping stories ever told.
