Synopsis

Les misérables has become a seminal work, not just of French fiction, but of world literature. Victor Hugo’s novel is a masterwork of social commentary and a moving defense of the oppressed. With its brilliantly contrived plot full of villains, tormentors, and victims, it plunges readers into a hostile and ruthless world where individuals must occasionally resort to crime in a desperate attempt to survive. This edition ties into the film starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Amanda Seyfried.

From AudioFile:

Un ex-presidiario llega a convertirse en un hombre de bien y respetado por la sociedad. Su pasado estará siempre presente en la mente de los demás y originando con esto situaciones desagradables en su vida. Narrando entre capítulos y diálogos, la voz del presentador da pie a los actores, con su voz siempre apacible y sin intención alguna de expresar mas emociones que solo las necesarias. Los actores, trabajan sus personajes de forma notable, presentando buena calidad interpretativa y mucha intención dramática, llegando en algunos momentos al clímax actoral. Incluso hay momentos tan intensos, que el lector puede sentir la brillante dramatización hasta el fondo de su ser. M.B.M.

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]--An ex-convict longs to transform himself into a person respected by society, but his unfortunate past remains in the memories of others. A merciless police inspector recognizes and persecutes him, trying to return him to prison--all for the theft of a slice of bread. Reading both narrative and dialogue, the main voice gives continuity to the actors in this dramatic production. His restrained manner never tries to express more emotion than necessary. The background music and quiet delivery sometimes obscure important words. The other narrators develop credible personalities with their skillful interpretations, sometimes achieving a dramatic crescendo. There are moments so intense that listeners may feel them in the bottom of their being. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
