About the Book

Contexte historique Victor Hugo a commencé Les Misérables en 1845 sous le titre Les Misères. Puis il "les" a abandonné pendant quinze ans. Il les reprend en 1860, et la première partie du livre paraît le 3 avril 1862. Le 15 mai, publication des deuxièmes et troisièmes Parties du roman (immense succès populaire, la foule s'amasse dès 6 heures du matin devant les grilles des librairies). Le 30 juin paraissent les deux dernières parties. Dans une lettre à Lacroix du 23 mars 1862, Victor Hugo écrit: Ma conviction est que ce livre sera un des principaux sommets, sinon le principal de mon oeuvre. Cette oeuvre est bâtie en cinq parties et le récit s'organise au tour de Jean Valjean, ancien forçat, depuis sa sortie de prison en 1815 jusqu'à sa mort, en 1833, dans les bras de Cosette et de Marius. Mais autour de Jean Valjean, apparaissent aussi les destinées d'autres misérables; Fantine, ouvrière obligée de confier Cosette, sa fille, à des inconnus, les Thénardier qui la traiteront comme un esclave. Marius, qui tombe amoureux de Cosette, et qui s'engagera sur les barricades lors de l'insurrection de 1832. Gavroche, gamin de Paris, qui sera tué, en chantant, sur une barricade. Depuis leur parution, Les Misérables sont l'oeuvre la plus célèbre et la plus lue de Victor Hugo. Jean Valjean, Cosette, Gavroche, font maintenant parti des personnages connus de chaque lycéen et lycéenne. Les Misérables apparaissent comme ce "livre unique" dont rêvait le dix-neuvième siècle. L'ambition démesurée de Victor Hugo est explicite: " Ce livre est un drame dont le premier personnage est l'infini. L'homme est le second". Certains ont été tentés de critiquer Les Misérables pour la faiblesse de sa psychologie et sa simplification caricaturale de la société. Force est de constater, plus de cent trente ans après sa sortie, sa vigueur et de saluer cette oeuvre, qui selon Victor Hugo lui-même, visait à dénoncer la dégradation de l'homme par le prolétariat, la déchéance de la femme par la faim, l'atrophie de l'enfant par la nuit. Victor Hugo qui, dans la préface des Misérables, affirme d'ailleurs la mission morale, sociale, et politique qu'il s'est fixé en créant cette épopée: "Tant qu'il existera, par le fait des lois et des moeurs, une damnation sociale créant artificiellement, en pleine civilisation, des enfers et compliquant d'une fatalité humaine, la destinée qui est divine... tant qu'il y aura sur la terre ignorance et misère, des livres comme celui-ci pourront ne pas être inutiles."
About the Author: Victor-Marie Hugo, né le 26 février 1802 à Besançon et mort le 22 mai 1885 à Paris, est un écrivain français, dramaturge, poète, homme politique, académicien et intellectuel engagé, considéré comme l'un des plus important écrivain romantique de langue française. Sa vie et son oeuvre ont fait de lui un personnage emblématique que la 3ème république a honoré à sa mort le 22 mai 1885 par des funérailles nationales qui ont accompagné le transfert de sa dépouille au Panthéon le 31 mai 1885.
