“Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.”

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

The best-known and oft-considered greatest French writer is unarguably Victor Hugo. His romance novels and stories have withstood the test of language and time. His most famous work, ‘Les Misérables’, has been transformed into film, theatre, and opera.

This rare 1886 edition contains all five volumes beautifully bound in fine leather with marbled boards. It features exquisite, full-page engravings throughout by a number of famous artists including Gusatve Brion, Eugene Delacroix, Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, and Edouard Riou, who was much more famous for his art found in Jules Verne’s works.
