Description

Les Misérables, a magnificent and sweeping story of revolution, love, and survival, is presented in this beautifully bound edition from Macmillan Collector's Library. With its real cloth binding, high-quality paper, and ribbon markers, this pocket-sized gift edition is a treasure to love and cherish.

The novel follows the life of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict who turns his back on his past to build a new life as an honest man. He takes in abandoned orphan Cosette and raises her as his own daughter, but is pursued by ruthless policeman Javert. As Cosette grows up, young idealist Marius catches a glimpse of her and falls desperately in love.

This abridged version of Victor Hugo's masterpiece was published in 1915 with the aim to provide 'a unified story of the life and soul-struggles of Jean Valjean'. With its introduction by Paul Bailey, this edition offers a unique perspective on one of literature's most enduring tales.
