CliffsNotes: Les Miserables [Hugo] (Paperback)

Condition

GOOD : There is an indentation on the front cover which appears to have come from someone pressing down on a paper on which they were writing hard enough to make a permanent impression. There is no ink marks and this does not impact the usefulness of the book. Other than that the book is in very good condition. The spine is intact and the pages are free of writing, highlighting and yellowing which is unusual considering its age.

"THE NOTES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TEXT ITSELF OR FOR THE CLASSROOM DISCUSSION OF THE TEXT, AND THE STUDENT WHO SO ATTEMPTS TO USE THEM IS DENYING HIMSELF THE VERY EDUCATION THAT HE IS PRESUMABLY GIVING HIS MOST VITAL YEARS TO ACHIEVE."

Les Miserables is the story of early 19th century France. The story of a convicts rise and fall and one of love and despair. It is a story of both tragedy and triumph. Although this has been retold in both plays and movies, you can not get the impact without the book.
