Mario Picchi Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Les Miserables is widely considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. First published in France in 1862, it is Victor Hugo's greatest achievement--the ultimate tale of redemption. Former prisoner Jean Valjean struggles to live virtuously after an unexpected act of forgiveness by a kindly bishop changes his life. His righteous actions change people's lives in surprising ways and culminate in romance between two young people. Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Les Miserables is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.

"Maupassant besitzt die Gabe, immer natuerlich zu sein. Mit einfachen Worten, ungekuenstelten Saetzen schildert er eindringlich wie nur wenige die Menschen in ihrer ganzen Widerspruechlichkeit, die Gefuehle in allen ihren Abstufungen und Uebergaengen... Es ueberrascht, dass dieser Mann, der so viel frische Luft, so viel sinnliche Helle in die Literatur gebracht hat, krank war und am Ende seines Lebens im Wahnsinn daemmerte. Er war ein grosser Heide mit ueberfeinen Nerven, der das Leben inbruenstig liebte." Jean-Marie Rouart "Maupassant has the skill of always being natural. With simple words and unaffected sentences he describes human beings in all their contradictions, emotion with all its nuances." Jean-Marie Rouart
