les miserables

Descripción

1867. illustrated with two hundred drawings by gustave brion. engravings by yon & perrichon [collaborative partnership between edmond yon (1836-1897) and georges-léon-alfred perrichon (1830-1907)]. this novel refuses simple summation. paris s revolution, religion, love, and the architecture of suffering are all folded into this epic. as one reviewer notes, "the beginning isn t the beginning": hugo excavates through digressions, moral theology, urban design, and revolutionary yearning. he then laughs amid the ruin. with jean valjean s path from thief to saint, cosette s mistreatment, javert s relentless justice, barricades erected in the streets, each chapter becomes a potent mix of mischief and mass grief. paris. 7.5 x 11 inches. hardcover. bound in full calf. gold tooling to spine. raised bands. marbling to end papers. all edges marbled. book condition: closed tear to first two leaves. tear to 297-304. bumping to edges. rubbing throughout. two owners book plates to pastedown. very good +.
