책소개

In the heart of revolution, the barricade becomes a battlefield of destiny. The Faubourg Saint-Antoine and Faubourg du Temple turn into war zones as Marius, Enjolras, and Gavroche resist to the end. Life and death blur atop the barricade, and the fight turns into one of despair and devotion. Jean Valjean spares Javert, choosing moral redemption over vengeance. The narrative shifts from external war to internal conscience. Sacrifices mount, and Enjolras dies clinging to revolutionary ideals. Gavroche shines as a child hero beyond the barricades, and the dead are honored for their truth, without condemning the living.

작가정보

저자(글) Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo was a towering figure in French Romantic literature, excelling as a poet, novelist, and playwright, and is best remembered for masterpieces such as Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, in which he portrayed the suffering of humanity, the injustices of society, and the redemptive power of love with profound emotional depth, striving not just to tell stories but to stir the conscience of his time. He was also deeply involved in politics, opposing the authoritarian rule of Napoleon III, which led him into exile, yet even during those years abroad, he continued to produce powerful works that reflected his moral convictions and humanistic vision. His writing combined the lyrical beauty of language with a fearless examination of internal conflict and structural injustice, establishing him not only as a literary genius but as a voice of ethical clarity. France embraced him as a national icon, and upon his death, he was buried in the Panthéon with full honors, symbolizing his lasting influence. Hugo’s legacy lives on through his works, which continue to resonate across generations and cultures, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring questions of human dignity, compassion, and justice.
