Si dice che tolstoj abbia definito les miserables il più grande romanzo mai scritto, ed esercitò una potente influenza sulla creazione di guerra e pace. Da un lato, un giallo in cui l'implacabile ispettore javert insegue ossessivamente il condannato evaso jean valjean, che culmina in un drammatico inseguimento nelle fogne di parigi, dall'altro, il capolavoro di hugo è un dramma di crimine, punizione e riabilitazione ambientato in una descrizione panoramica della società francese negli anni successivi alla caduta di napoleone dal potere. Ma questo libro parla anche della lotta metafisica tra il bene e il male nell'anima di ogni uomo e di ogni comunità. Colorato dalla filosofia distintiva di hugo, è un appello alla giustizia sociale, all'illuminazione politica e alla carità personale che continua a parlare con un'autorità inalterata più di un secolo dopo la sua prima apparizione.

Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote volumes of criticism, dramas, satirical verse and political journalism but is best remembered for his novels, especially Notre-Dame de Paris (also known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) and Les Misérables, which was adapted into one of the most successful musicals of all time.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. 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. Out of extreme poverty Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread and then spends many years trying to escape his reputation as a criminal. In later years he rises socially and is a respectable member of society; but policeman Javert will not allow him to forget his past and is determined to expose him.
