Il Novantatré è l'ultimo romanzo di Victor Hugo, frutto della vegeta e operosa vecchiaia dello scrittore: l'intricatissima vicenda è ambientata durante l'apogeo della Rivoluzione, nell'anno forse più tragico e più sanguinoso, l'anno della crisi, quando la Convenzione, ormai decimata, ha abdicato nelle mani di Robespierre e Danton e i realisti, approfittando del disordine civile, ingaggiano nella Vandea una lotta disperata. Hugo, con un ritmo serrato e intenso, amalgama abilmente il racconto storico con il romanzo di avventure, creando un affresco di grande potenza e dalle tinte corrusche, in cui i personaggi si muovono in preda a sentimenti contrastanti, in perenne lotta con se stessi. Figure leggendarie e gloriose, scolpite a tutto tondo, che si imprimono tenacemente nella memoria del lettore.

Les Miserables is widely considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. First published in France in 1862, it is Victor Hugo's greatest achievement--the ultimate tale of redemption. Former prisoner Jean Valjean struggles to live virtuously after an unexpected act of forgiveness by a kindly bishop changes his life. His righteous actions change people's lives in surprising ways and culminate in romance between two young people. Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Les Miserables is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.
