Description

This omnibus collects three of Hugo?s best-known novels. The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of four men from different walks of life who vie for the hand of the gypsy woman Esmerelda. Les Misérables, Hugo?s masterpiece, is the story of thief Jean Valjean?s spiritual transformation and his pursuit by relentless forces of justice. The Man Who Laughs is Hugo?s somber and serious meditation on class struggle and the sufferings of the underclass.
