"An unabridged printing of Hugo's final work translated by Helen Dole, with all text and any illustrations, digitally enlarged. The events of Ninety-Three occur during (and somewhat define) the period of the French Revolution. For this reason, all the characters' actions are tremendously important. The fate of a large part of the world literally hangs on their actions. Toward the end of the book, during the battle at La Tourgue, you can almost see the future itself, balanced on a knife-edge, swaying back and forth with the actions of the main characters. The characters in Ninety-Three are giants among men. Lantenac, Gauvain, Cimourdain - all are heroic in their own way. Even minor characters like Radoub the soldier, Tellmarch the beggar, and Halmalo the sailor are honorable and admirable people."@en
"With a cast spanning the doomed aristocracy and the suffering peasantry and including the warring revolutionary leaders Marat, Danton and Robespierre, Hugo brings to life the year 1793 - the year of the guillotine."@en
"It is the year 1793 and a new and terrible phase of the French Revolution is underway. Louis XVI has been sentenced to the scaffold and the guillotine has become an efficient agent of the Terror."@en
