6/24/2023 0 Comments Les miserables volume 1![]() Emerging from prison after 19 years, his soul is immersed in anger, bitterness, hatred and a feeling of vengeance against society. The best years of his life have been wasted because of the iniquities and injustice of the prevailing social order. Other than Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" I do not know any single novel in world literature which seeks to present a unique philosophy to change the world and give a new direction to human existence.Īccording to me, the plot-theme is : "The step-by-step purification of a man's soul and his achievement of spiritual perfection." ![]() Such an important, profound and philosophical theme could only have been selected by a visionary such as Victor Hugo - whom I consider the greatest novelist of the 19th Century. ![]() The theme of this masterpiece is : "The projection and glorification of a moral-spiritual force based on Love, Compassion and above all Conscience, aimed at overthrowing the existing order of human existence and establish a new world where these cardinal values will guide human life." In "Les Miserables", Hugo has given the best expression that his genius could to this element. With a few exceptions, such as Ayn Rand, there is no writer in world literature who has portrayed such a grand, noble, sublime and inspiring image of man as Victor Hugo. If you are the kind of person thirsting for the image of Man as a being to whom nothing is impossible - and to whom everything great is possible, then "Les Miserables" is the novel for you. ![]() ![]() "Les Miserables" : Victor Hugo's grestest achievement ![]()
