The Temptation of the Impossible Victor Hugo and "Les Miserables" Hardcover - 2007
by Mario Vargas Llosa
It was one of the most popular novels of the 19th century, yet today Victor Hugo's "Les Misrables" is neglected by readers and undervalued by critics. One of the world's great novelists Llosa helps readers to appreciate the incredible ambition, power, and beauty of Hugo's masterpiece.
From the publisher
From the rear cover
"It is always interesting when a writer of Vargas Llosa's distinction discusses a great novelist, bringing to bear a luminous awareness of the craft of fiction. The Temptation of the Impossible is written with considerable zest, discrimination, and enthusiasm. Raising practical and theoretical points about the art of the novel, Vargas Llosa never loses sight of Hugo's specific achievement. I recommend this book without hesitation."--Victor Brombert, author of Trains of Thought
