Much much more than a stage musical. Equal parts history, novel, and manifesto for social fairness. Don't let the size put you off and read it now.
Il m'aura fallu plus de trois semaines pour lire ce gros pavé de Victor Hugo, peut-être son oeuvre la plus connue, mais je ne regrette pas ces longues heures passées avec Jean Valjean, Fantine, Cosette, l'inspecteur Javert, Marius, sans oublier l'inoubliable Gavroche.
Victor Hugo nous a offert ici une oeuvre majeure, magistrale. Il se permet régulièrement de longues digressions, mais certaines sont presque plus passionnantes encore que le récit principal. Malgré quelques longueurs, le résultat est incroyable, saisissant. Assurément l'un des chefs d'oeuvre de la littérature française.
