The reader is also treated to the unforgettable descriptions of the Battle of Waterloo, Valjean?s flight through the Paris sewers, and the fighting at the barricades during the July Revolution.* This is a VG+ copy with minimal shelf wear and light tanning.

Les Miserables made musical history. It was a cultural, financial, and social phenomenon. In just three years, more than seven million people flocked to see it, and in ticket revenues alone it grossed 400 million dollars. It was performed worldwide, and in 1992 Alan Parker made it into a major feature film. It all began with the classic novel Les Miserables, which Victor Hugo started writing in 1836. Some hundred and fifty years later, in 1980, its musical potential was realized when two young Frenchmen - Alain Boublil and Claude- Michel Schonberg - adapted Les Miserables for the French stage. In 1982 the impresario Cameron Mackintosh happened to hear their recording and decided to produce it as a musical in English. Then the trials and tribulations behind the development of a major international hit began. The author goes right back to the novel and the fascinating events surrounding its genesis, not the least of which were the dramas in Victor Hugo's personal life. Behr conveys the full excitement and wonder surrounding the conception and production of the musical. This book includes firsthand interviews (with casts, directors, and producers), hundreds of photographs, set and costume illustrations (some of them never before reproduced), and the complete libretto for the show. It offers a historically informed and challenging thesis and makes a lasting record of a unique and unforgettable venture.

Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780691131115. Translated from the Spanish by John King. 196 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Carmina Alvarez-Gaffin. keywords: Literary Criticism France Victor Hugo Les Miserables Translated. DESCRIPTION - It was one of the most popular novels of the nineteenth century and Tolstoy called it 'the greatest of all novels.' Yet today Victor Hugo's Les Miserables is neglected by readers and undervalued by critics. In The Temptation of the Impossible, one of the world's great novelists, Mario Vargas Llosa, helps us to appreciate the incredible ambition, power, and beauty of Hugo's masterpiece and, in the process, presents a humane vision of fiction as an alternative reality that can help us imagine a different and better world. Hugo, Vargas Llosa says, had at least two goals in Les Miserables - to create a complete fictional world and, through it, to change the real world. Despite the impossibility of these aims, Hugo makes them infectious, sweeping up the reader with his energy and linguistic and narrative skill. Les Miserables, Vargas Llosa argues, embodies a utopian vision of literature - the idea that literature can not only give us a supreme experience of beauty, but also make us more virtuous citizens, and even grant us a glimpse of the 'afterlife, the immortal soul, God.' If Hugo's aspiration to transform individual and social life through literature now seems innocent, Vargas Llosa says, it is still a powerful ideal that great novels like Les Miserables can persuade us is true. inventory #36473.
