Les Miserables
Hugo, Victor
A brilliant modern translation by Christine Donougher of Victor Hugo’s
thrilling masterpiece, with an introduction by Robert Tombs.
This is the best translation of the novel available
in English, as recommended by David Bellos in The Novel of the Century.
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, and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman
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.
’A magnificent achievement. It reads easily,
sometimes racily, and Hugo’s narrative power is never let down ... An
almost flawless translation, which brings the full flavour of one of the
greatest novels of the nineteenth century to new readers in the
twenty-first’ - William Doyle, Times Literary Supplement
’The year’s most interesting publication from
Penguin Classics was [...] a new translation by Christine Donougher of
the novel we all know as Les Miserables. You may think that 1,300 pages
is a huge investment of time when the story is so familiar, but no
adaptation can convey the addictive pleasure afforded by Victor Hugo’s
narrative voice: by turns chatty, crotchety, buoyant and savagely
ironical, it’s made to seem so contemporary and fresh in Donougher’s
rendering that the book has all the resonance of the most topical
state-of-the-nation novel’ - Telegraph
’Christine Donougher’s seamless and very modern
translation of Les Miserables has an astonishing effect in that it
reminds readers that Hugo was going further than any Dickensian lament
about social conditions [...]The Wretched touches the soul’ - Herald
