“Among many other things, “Les Misérables” is Victor Hugo's love letter to the Paris of his youth... His descriptions of its streets and buildings, and the routes the characters take, are almost forensically detailed and accurate.”
Have you ever wanted to stride through Paris in search of the places where the characters of “Les Misérables” walked?
Using contemporary and modern maps, photographs, engravings and paintings, this book is a guide for “Les Misérables” lovers who are visiting Paris in person or from their armchairs, with detailed written and illustrated histories for thirty-five locations in Paris connected with the novel, the musical, and the life of Victor Hugo, including the locations of the Barricade, the Rue Plumet, the Café Musain, the church where Marius and Cosette marry, the quay where Javert commits suicide, and many more. Advice for travel by Métro, bus and bicycle is included, along with two suggested walking routes.
This updated edition, available in paperback for the first time, is more than twice the length of the first edition. The entries for the thirty sites covered in the first edition have been greatly expanded, incorporating extensive additional research with many new illustrations, and five further sites have been added.
