Summary:
The extraordinary story of how a simple tale of love and revolution, the poor and the downtrodden. Victor Hugo's beloved classic Les Misérables, first published in 1862, conquered the world. There has never been a book like it. It is the most widely read and frequently adapted story of all time, on stage and on film. David Bellos brings to life the extraordinary story of how Hugo managed to write his epic novel despite a revolution, a coup d'état and political exile; how he pulled off the deal of the century to get it published, and set it on course to become the novel that epitomizes the grand sweep of history in the nineteenth century. Full of information about the background and design of Les Misérables. The moral and social message of Hugo's ever-popular novel is just as important for our century as it was for its own.
