Victor Hugo is one of the most famous French writers, author of the novels "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame", "Les Misérables", and "The Man Who Laughs". Hugo's works are marked by a richness of creative imagination; their plots are complex, their denouements are dramatic, and the emotions of the characters are intense and tragic. This edition includes two novels and a novella that can be ranked alongside the author's most celebrated books. "Ninety-Three" is Victor Hugo's final novel, dedicated to the French Revolution. Mercy and terror, honor and betrayal, blind faith, defiance of death, bloody clashes, remorse, ruin and triumph — such is the turbulent world of this magnificent book. The adventure novel "Toilers of the Sea" tells the story of a lonely fisherman who challenged the forces of nature. The book concludes with the novella "The Last Day of a Condemned Man," which brought the author world renown.
The texts are accompanied by numerous illustrations by French artists: Émile Bayard, Charles Bodmer, Gustave Brion, Daniel Vierge, Paul Gavarni, Jules Férat, and others, as well as color illustrations by the Russian artist Pyotr Pinkisevich.
