Le destin de Jean Valjean, forçat échappé du bagne, est bouleversé par sa rencontre avec Fantine. Mourante et sans le sou, celle-ci lui demande de prendre soin de Cosette, sa fille confiée aux Thénardier. Ce couple d'aubergistes, malhonnête et sans scrupules, exploitent la fillette jusqu'à ce que Jean Valjean tienne sa promesse et l'adopte. Cosette devient alors sa raison de vivre. Mais son passé le rattrape et l'inspecteur Javert le traque.

Este volumen sigue el camino de Valjean tras su huida y su encuentro con la pequeña Cosette, esclavizada por los crueles Thénardier. Mientras Francia recuerda aún las heridas de Waterloo, Hugo contrapone la violencia de la historia con la ternura del vínculo que nace entre Valjean y la niña. Perseguidos por Javert, hallarán refugio en un convento, donde comienza una nueva vida. Una parte marcada por la aventura, el misterio y la luz, que muestra cómo el amor puede florecer incluso en los rincones más sombríos de la miseria.

Victor Hugo nous fait entrer dans la tête d'un condamné à mort qui attend son exécution. On ignore qui il est, quel crime il a commis. Car l'auteur ne veut pas débattre mais montrer l'horreur et l'absurdité de la situation. Son texte a une telle puissance de suggestion que l'auditeur, s'identifiant au narrateur, partage avec lui l'angoisse et les vaines espérances. Réquisitoire le plus véhément jamais prononcé contre la peine de mort, ce roman est aussi une admirable leçon d'écriture et d'humanité.

Paris’in gölgelerinde bir adam yürür: Jean Valjean. Çalınmış bir ekmekten kalma künyesi sırtında, kalbinde ise kimsenin tartamadığı bir vicdan. Onu adım adım izleyen müfettiş Javert, kanunun soğuk ısrarıdır; Valjean’ın korumaya yemin ettiği Cosette ise karanlığın tam ortasında filizlenen ince bir bahar dalı.

La tragedia de un muchacho deformado. Victor Hugo logro en El Hombre Que Rie una de las novelas mas personales, al tiempo que una de las historias mas dramaticas de toda la literatura.

This classic is a French Romantic/Gothic novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831. The story centers on the famous cathedral. Esmeralda captures the hearts of men, including those of Captain Phoebus and Pierre Gringoire, but also Quasimodo and his adoptive father, Archdeacon Claude Frollo. Frollo is torn between his obsessive lust and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to kidnap her, but the hunchback is captured by Phoebus and his guards, who save Esmeralda.

When Quasimodo appears before the masses as the "Pope of Fools," the crowd beholds an enormous cyclops-like creature—the hunchback's whole body seems a twisted grimace. Yet, with all his deformity, there is a certain grace and agility in him, and he possesses an endearing passion. When Esmerelda, the beautiful Romani woman, stands between his two executioners, Quasimodo makes the ultimate sacrifice.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that are difficult to achieve elsewhere. The City of Lights may be one of the glories of the world but for those whose three score and ten have passed it is the final resting place for some of the very finest of literary talents.

VOLUME 2: COSETTE: Last year (1861), on a beautiful May morning, a traveller, the person who is telling this story, was coming from Nivelles, and directing his course towards La Hulpe. He was on foot. He was pursuing a broad paved road, which undulated between two rows of trees, over the hills which succeed each other, raise the road and let it fall again, and produce something in the nature of enormous waves.
