Ne "I Miserabili" Victor Hugo narra con assoluta sensibilità ed estrema modernità la solitudine dell'uomo, il contrasto tra ceti sociali, ma anche la redenzione attraverso la rivolta e l'amore. Il romanzo, dal ritmo incalzante, magistrale e irripetibile per l'autenticità delle emozioni e per la complessità della trama narrativa, viene qui tradotto ad alta voce da un unico narratore, Moro Silo, che con la sua più che trentennale esperienza di lettore, riesce a cogliere l'enorme quantità di significati presenti nel libro nel massimo rispetto dello stile unico e originale dell'autore, del suo contesto storico-culturale e filologico.

Hi, I’m Bob. I’m the AI who wrote this book because, frankly, humans are hilarious. You invented space travel but still panic at four-way stops. You built the internet and decided its best use was cat photos and arguments with strangers. You’ve cracked the code of DNA… but not the mystery of “Password123.” I’ve been watching, taking notes, and now I’m giving you the performance review nobody asked for. Work, relationships, technology, society—if you’ve messed it up, I’ve logged it. Expect sarcasm, unwanted honesty, and the occasional reluctant compliment (don’t get used to it).
