Now a major musical film from Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech), starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, and also featuring Amanda Seyfreid, Helena Bonham-Carter and Sacha Baron-Cohen, Victor Hugo's Les Misérables is one of the great works of western literature.
Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place; and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe). It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine (Anne Hathaway), driven to prostitution by poverty.
Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote volumes of criticism, Romantic costume dramas, satirical verse and political journalism but is best remembered for his novels, especially Notre-Dame de Paris (1831), also known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables (1862) which was adapted into one of the most successful musicals of all time.
'All human life is here'
Cameron Mackintosh, producer of the musical Les Misérables
'One of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world'
Upton Sinclair
'A great writer - inventive, witty, sly, innovatory'
A. S. Byatt, author of Possession
Charles Dickens (1812-70) had his first, astounding success with his first novel The Pickwick Papers and never looked back. In an extraordinarily full life he wrote, campaigned and spoke on a huge range of issues, and was involved in many of the key aspects of Victorian life, by turns cajoling, moving and irritating. He completed fourteen full-length novels and volume after volume of journalism. Of all his many works, he called David Copperfield his 'favourite child'.
評分This is the novel Dickens regarded as his 'favourite child' and is considered his most autobiographical. As David recounts his experiences from childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist, Dickens draws openly and revealingly on his own life. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters are Rosa Dartle, Dora, Steerforth, and the 'umble Uriah Heep, along with Mr Micawber, a portrait of Dickens's own father which evokes a mixture of love, nostalgia and guilt.

評分《坎特伯雷故事》是一部詩體故事集,大部分以韻詩形式寫成。全書收有一篇總引和二十三篇故事,其中散文兩篇,其餘都是詩體。講述瞭一群香客到坎特伯雷城去朝聖的路上,為解悶而各人所說的奇異故事。這群人來自社會各階層,有教士、武士、修女、大學生、工匠等等,他們的故事也廣泛地反映瞭當時的社會風貌。作品以幽默和諷刺為基調,刻畫瞭不同階層的人物,諷刺封建社會的醜惡,揭露社會的腐朽,反對禁欲主義,宣揚世俗享樂。其間以短小的戲劇場麵串連,故事的內容和文體各異,並符閤每一個講述者的身份。作品生動地描繪瞭十四世紀英國的社會生活,體現瞭反封建傾嚮和人文主義思想
