Customer Reviews

Oh, Hugo!

A set of very interesting stories from the teen-aged Hugo. It's hard to believe her wrote "Bug Jargal" when he was only 17, but a great deal of that youthful heroism, adventure-seeking, and action story comes through in the story. This is also a good read for those interested in the Haitian revolution and independence, neatly woven into stories in which Hugo's own royalist ideas come through.

A masterpiece

I read this book decades ago, now I'm just searching it for my son who is finishing his studies in France. This is not a review of a particular edition, it's a stating on the original french text of "Le dernier jour d'un condamné". This work is a masterpiece of literature of all times. It is written in the first person, the title tells it all, now it's up to you to find the best EN translation or to read it in FR. You won't be deceived: this text belongs to the cultural heritage of mankind.
