victor hugo

Edité par the modern library, new york, 1960

[1960s]. this novel refuses simple summation. paris s revolution, religion, love, and the architecture of suffering are all folded into this epic. as one reviewer notes, "the beginning isn t the beginning": hugo excavates through digressions, moral theology, urban design, and revolutionary yearning. he then laughs amid the ruin. with jean valjean s path from thief to saint, cosette s mistreatment, javert s relentless justice, barricades erected in the streets, each chapter becomes a potent mix of mischief and mass grief. translated from french by new york journalist charles e. wilbour. new york: the modern library. 1222 pages. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. hardcover. bound in green cloth-covered boards. book condition: near fine. jacket condition: slightest shelf-wear. soiling to rear panel. unclipped ($3.95). very good+. from the library of richard perlbinder.
