Les Misérables

It has been said that Victor Hugo has a street named after him in virtually every town in France. A major reason for the singular celebrity of this most popular and versatile of the great French writers is Les MisÃ©rables (1862). In this story of the trials of the peasant Jean Valjean â€” a man unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert â€” Hugo achieves the sort of rare imaginative resonance that allows a work of art to transcend its genre.
Les MisÃ©rables is at once a tense thriller that contains one of the most compelling chase scenes in all literature, an epic portrayal of the nineteenth-century French citizenry, and a vital drama â€” highly particularized and poetic in its rendition but universal in its implications â€” of the redemption of one human being.

One of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world. â€”Upton Sinclair
The greatest of all novels. â€”Leo Tolstoy
Hugo is unquestionably the most powerful talent that has appeared in France in the nineteenth century. â€”Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I sobbed and wailed and thought [books] were the greatest things. â€”Susan Sontag
