Having witnessed several executions by guillotine as a young man, Hugo devoted himself in his art and political life to opposing the death penalty in France. Praised by Dostoevsky as \"absolutely the most real and truthful of everything that Hugo wrote,\" \u003ci\u003eThe Last Day of a Condemned Man\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful story from an author who defined nineteenth century French literature.

Recording his emotional state, observations, and conversations with a priest and fellow prisoner, the condemned man forces us to not only recognize his humanity, but question our own. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Victor Hugo's \u003ci\u003eThe Last Day of a Condemned Man\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSentenced to death by guillotine, a condemned man reflects on his life and emotions while waiting in a cramped prison cell.
