The Last Day of a Condemned Man - (Alma Classics 101 Pages) by Victor Hugo (Paperback)

The Last Day of a Condemned Man is a poignant tale that vividly conveys the mental anguish of a man facing execution, as his mind seeks refuge in recollections from his past and philosophical musings on his inevitable fate.

This edition includes the Preface to the 1832 edition, a manifest of Hugo's personal opinions, 'A Comedy about a Tragedy' and 'Claude Gueux', an early example of "true crime" fiction.

Don't miss out on this eloquent plea for compassion and masterpiece of realist fiction that is still considered one of the most influential figures of nineteenth-century France and its greatest writer.
