Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

A True Classic. A Masterpiece. A Must-Read. One of the milestones of the written world. The subject of the world's longest-running musical and the award-winning film, <i>Les Misérables</i> is a genuine literary treasure. 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, and has been a perennial favorite since it first appeared over 150 years ago. This exciting new translation with Jillian Tamaki's brilliant cover art will be a gift both to readers who have already fallen for its timeless story and to new readers discovering it for the first time.
