Opis

'Les Miserables', the compelling story of love, honour and obsession living amidst one of the most dramatic periods of French history, culminates in an explosive finale on the streets of Paris in the July revolution."

Recenzje

There are plenty of translations of this extensive, exuberant novel that cut out anything superfluous. But God is in the detail, and Julie Rose has returned all the detail, making a language that is rich and gorgeous. This is the one to read... and if you are flying, just carry it under your arm as you board, or better still, rebook your holiday and go by train, slowly, page by page... Jeanette Winterson The Times
