Los miserables: Tomo I (Clasicos Manga Ser. #Vol. 461)
by Victor HugoLos mejores libros jamás escritos. Los miserables se publicó en 1862, cuando Victor Hugo se hallaba exiliado en Bélgica tras la restauración napoleónica del Imperio. Y podría considerarse que es el exilio, la obligada falta de pertenencia, uno de los motores de la gran novela del romanticismo francés: el exilio social y psicológico gobierna la vida de Jean Valjean, un «noble bruto», un buen hombre que lucha por los que, como él, son injustamente perseguidos. Situada entre las guerras napoleónicas y la revolución burguesa de 1848, Los miserables es, ante todo, una novela épica sobre el triunfo de quienes conservan intacta su conciencia en un mundo gobernado por la pobreza. Esta edición, en un manejable volumen único, está encabezada por un estudio de Alain Verjat, catedrático de filología románica en la Universidad de Barcelona y destacado experto en Victor Hugo. Presentamos la novela en la traducción clásica deNemesio Fernández-Cuesta, plenamente coetánea -y modernizada para la ocasión. «Lo que de los hombres se dice, verdadero o falso, ocupa tanto lugar en su destino, y sobre todo en su vida, como lo que hacen.»

She’s never kissed a boy, she never knew her mom, and her dad’s always been superstrict—but that’s probably because her mom was a demon, which makes Jael half demon and most definitely not a normal sophomore girl.

Jael must learn to master her demon side in order to take on a vindictive Duke of Hell, while also dealing with a twisted priest, best-friend drama, and a spacey blond skater boy who may have hidden depths.
