PRAISE FOR LES MISÉRABLES
"One of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world." Upton Sinclair
“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read” The Guardian
“Hugo's massive narrative follows the career of Jean Valjean, a convict, imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family. On his release, he steals some silver candlesticks from a bishop, who forgives him. This act of kindness sets Valjean on the path of righteousness. He becomes a successful industrialist, mayor and family man — although always haunted by his criminal past.” John Sutherland

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME
“Jealousy, loneliness, and unrequited love all play a part in this moving human drama, set against the towering backdrop of a timeless Parisian landmark.” Daily Lit
“This is definitely my favourite classic, I loved the dark atmosphere of the book, and the setting being Notre-Dame, which is one of my favourite places in Paris. It's not entirely dark and horrible, there are times when it can be humorous, but it's brutal in terms of showing what obsession can become when it's misunderstood as love and the true form of love shown by other characters.” Leah

TOILERS OF THE SEA
“I can't get enough of Hugo. This is possibly his most overlooked novel. If you are looking for a book and man vs nature read this one it's heart wrenching but oh so good.” Kristin
“Religion, society, nature: such are the three struggles in which man is engaged … In Notre-Dame de Paris the author denounced the first of these; in Les Misérables he drew attention to the second; in this book he points to the third.” Victor Hugo
“One part epic drama, one part satiric wit, one part ethnographic study of Guernsey Island in the mid 1800s, one part battle between man and nature, one part spiritual allegory, and the topping is two parts elegant prose.” Ferris
