Paperback. Condition: Fair. Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place; and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Inspector Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty. Norman Denny's lively English translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing Hugo's political and artistic aims in writing Les Miserables. Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote volumes of criticism, dramas, satirical verse and political journalism but is best remembered for his novels, especially Notre-Dame de Paris (also known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) and Les Miserables, which was adapted into one of the most successful musicals of all time. 'All human life is here' Cameron Mackintosh, producer of the musical Les Miserables 'One of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world' Upton Sinclair 'A great writer - inventive, witty, sly, innovatory' A. S. Byatt, author of Possession. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.

Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut -Kämpfe. Träume. Hoffnung. Liebe.Jean Valjean, für den Diebstahl eines Brotes als junger Mann zur Galeere verurteilt, kehrt nach neunzehn Jahren Bagno nach Frankreich zurück. Ein freundlicher Bischof nimmt ihn gastlich auf, und als Jean der neuerlichen Versuchung nicht widerstehen kann und seinem Wohltäter das Tafelsilber stiehlt, vertuscht dieser den Diebstahl vor der Polizei, indem er Jean noch zwei silberne Leuchter dazuschenkt. Überwältigt von so viel Güte, beschließt Valjean, fortan ein anständiges Leben zu führen. Er baut sich unter falschem Namen eine neue Identität auf, gründet mit dem Erlös aus den Silbersachen eine bald prosperierende Glasfabrik, wird ein reicher Mann und gibt sein Vermögen für die Unterstützung armer und entrechteter Menschen aus. So setzt er auch alles daran, die todkranke Fantine, eine junge Arbeiterin, und ihre kleine Tochter Cosette zu retten. Doch da holt ihn die Vergangenheit in Gestalt des Polizeiinspektors Javert ein, der seine wahre Identität herausgefunden hat. -Victor Hugos großer Roman ist im Frühjahr die Vorlage für ein einzigartiges Filmereignis. Getragen von der Sprache der Musik setzt Tom Hooper atemberaubende Bilder in Szene. Vor großartiger Kulisse laufen Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Amanda Seyfried und Eddie Redmayne zu schauspielerischer wie gesanglicher Höchstform auf und nehmen den Zuschauer mit auf eine emotionsgeladene Reise ins revolutionäre Frankreich des 19.
