Sur fond des troubles du XIXe siècle en France, Les Misérables retrace la vie de Jean Valjean, un ancien détenu qui lutte pour se reconstruire dans un monde qui refuse d’oublier son passé. Poursuivi sans relâche par l’inspecteur Javert, rigide et impitoyable, le parcours de Jean Valjean devient un combat moral entre la miséricorde et la loi, la rédemption et le châtiment.

Dans un monologue sans échappée, un homme, condamné à mourir, livre l’ébranlement de ses heures. Peur, souvenirs, sursauts d’espérance et révolte se heurtent à l’attente de l’irrévocable. À travers la voix nue d’un vivant déjà retranché des vivants, Victor Hugo fait entendre la solitude absolue et interroge les rouages d’une justice qui tue, tandis que la dignité persiste jusqu’au dernier instant.

Personal injury attorney Peter Game has a reputation: cynical, untroubled by ethics, and willing to take any case, anytime, in his pursuit of the win. He dreams of a sweetheart score that’ll make his name and net him millions. Then comes the lightning rod: a school shooting just outside of Salt Lake City. His client: the devastated mother of one of the victims. What she wants is understandable—just not simple: to sue the manufacturers of the automatic weapon used in the mass killing.

Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history. Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to the present day.

C'est Hugo qui, sans doute, a le mieux incarné le romantisme : son goût pour la nature, pour l'exotisme, ses postures orgueilleuses, son rôle d'exilé, sa conception du poète comme prophète, tout cela fait de l'auteur des "Misérables" l'un des romantiques les plus purs et les plus puissants qui soient. La force de son inspiration s'est exprimée par le vocabulaire le plus vaste de toute la littérature française.

The Man Who Laughs (“L’Homme qui Rit”) was called by its author “A Romance of English History,” and was written during the period Hugo spent in exile in Guernsey. Like The Toilers of the Sea, its immediate predecessor, the main theme of the story is human heroism, confronted with the superhuman tyranny of blind chance. As a passionate cry on behalf of the tortured and deformed, and the despised and oppressed of the world, The Man Who Laughs is irresistible.

While the world has made encouraging strides in the fight against global poverty, there is a hidden crisis silently undermining our best efforts to help the poor. It is a plague of everyday violence. Beneath the surface of the world’s poorest communities, common violence—like rape, forced labor, illegal detention, land theft, police abuse and other brutality—has become routine and relentless. And like a horde of locusts devouring everything in their path, the unchecked plague of violence ruins lives, blocks the road out of poverty, and undercuts development.

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.
