# Les Mis駻ables - Leather

by **Victor Hugo** (Author), **Isabel F. Hapgood** (Translator), **Ken Mondschein** (Introduction by)

**"The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness."**

"So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of _Les Mis駻ables_ cannot fail to be of use," says Victor Hugo in the preface of his famous novel. Set in the years after the French Revolution, _Les Mis駻ables_ is certainly French history recounted through the personal stories of its main characters: Jean Valjean, Fantine, Cosette, Javert, and others. And the novel offers philosophical insight on the good deeds that can happen even amidst ignorance and poverty. This handsome leather-bound volume is a beautiful addition to any classic literature library with specially designed endpapers, gilded edges, and a ribbon bookmark so you will never lose your place.
