He was no longer Jean Valjean, but No. 24601
A THRILLING NEW TRANSLATIONBY JUDE ROSE
WITH NOTES BY JAMES MADDEN
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRLWELL
Sensational, dramatic, packed with rich excitement and filled with the sweep and violence of human passions, Les Misérables is one of the greatest adventure stories ever told. It is a novel peopled by colourful characters from the nineteenth-century Parisian underworld; the street children, the prostitutes and the criminals. In telling the story of escaped convict Jean Valjean, and his efforts to reform his ways and care for the little orphan girl he rescues from a life of cruelty, Victor Hugo drew attention to the plight of the poor and oppressed. Les Miserables is a masterful detective story, a comic and tragic story of romance and revolution and, ultimately, a tale of redemption and hope.
維克多.雨果/Victor Marie Hugo(1802/02/26日–1885/05/22)
法國浪漫主義(Romanticism)文學的代表人物以及十九世紀前期積極浪漫主義文學運動的領袖,法國文學史極具代表性的卓越作家。多產的雨果一生創作了多篇詩歌、小說、劇本、散文、文藝評論以及政論文章等多種作品;年輕時的雨果傾向保皇主義,隨著年歲漸長雨果轉而推動共和主義。他的作品觸及時政、社會和藝術潮流。筆下知名代表作有《鐘樓怪人》與《悲慘世界》等,另有《靜觀集》和《歷代傳說》等作品遺世,此外雨果還創作了多達四千餘幅畫作,並且積極參與諸如廢除死刑的社會運動。
1885年5月22日,雨果因患肺炎不治,享壽八十三歲。死後葬於巴黎萬神殿(Panthéon)。1959年,法蘭西銀行為了紀念雨果,以雨果肖像發行五法郎的紀念紙幣,正面背景為所葬地萬神殿,背面背景為其生前舊居孚日廣場。
Victor-Marie Hugo was born in 1802 at Besanon, France. By the age of twenty he was married and had published his first poetry collection and a first novel, Hans of Iceland. His literary outpouring between 1826 and 1843 encompassed eight volumes of poetry; four novels, including The Last Day of a Condemned Man (1829) and Notre-Dame de Paris (1831); ten plays, and a variety of critical writings. Hugo was elected to the Academie Francaise in 1841. The accidental death two years later of his eldest daughter and her husband devastated him and marked the end of his first literary period. Hugo went into exile in Brussels and Jersey, launching fierce literary attacks on the Second Empire in The Story of a Crime, Napoleon the Little, and The Punishments. After the fall of the Second Empire in 1870, Hugo returned to France and was reelected to the National Assembly, and then to the Senate. He had become a legendary figure and national icon.
