in This Profoundly Moving Classic By The Author Of les MisΓ©rables, A Condemned Man Facing The Guillotine Looks Back On His Life And Writes Of His Anguish InsideΒ prison Walls.
this Impassioned Early (1829) Work, Which Depicts The Six-week Death Agony And . . . Day-long Death Rattle Of A Condemned Prisoner Awaiting Execution, Isn't So Much Fiction As It Is A Broadside Against The Barbarity Of The Guillotine. (the Text Is Accompanied By A Brief Satirical Playlet In Which Bureaucrats And Aristocrats Denounce Its Author As A Troublemaker.) There Are Moments When The Plight Of Hugo's Nameless Protagonist And Narrator Stirs Faint Anticipatory Echoes Of (the Later) Les MisΓ©rables. But The Novella's Awkward Swings Between High Emotion And Jejune Sociological Comment And Its Profusion Of Accusatory Rhetorical Questions Make It Of Only Minimal Literary Interest.
