Les Miserables (Clothbound Classics)

Well made and aesthetically pleasing line of books.

Beautiful edition. Love it

I have seen the musical and played the soundtrack numerous times. I have seen the film version numerous times and watched the BBC version. Nothing, but, nothing compares to the book. It is without doubt the best reading experience I have had. There is so much more depth to the story and all the characters.Whilst the story is basically the same as what the musical does the book adds a lot more that fills in gaps, we find out about Cosette's father and his relationship with Fantine as one example. In the musical the Thernardiers are what would be described as "loveable Rogues", however in the book the are totally nasty and horrible (this is my polite description.)Before the barricade we get an insight into who is involved and to why.I could carry on but I do not wish to spoil what is a fantastic read and a must for any fan of Les Mis.I recommend this version, though there are others to choose from.

One of the greatest monuments of world literature. A must read. This is the reprint of 1982 edition. Translation by Norman Denny is slightly old school. Binding is nice and paper quality is good. .
