Another splendid masterpiece written by Victor Hugo.

I've recently read part of Hugo's biography (the beginning of his carrer) in My Memoirs, Vol. III, by Alexandre Dumas. This book will be published quite soon by Project Gutenberg. See my review here.

I have made the proofreading of several pages (Under Sentence of Death) of this book for Project Gutenberg.

Free download available at Project Gutenberg.
