Cè un condannato alla pena di morte, riguardo al quale Hugo sottace quasi ogni aspetto biografico: non ha un futuro e non ha nemmeno un passato, non sappiamo chi è, né il motivo per cui si trovi in carcere.Perché Hugo è così avaro di informazioni anedottiche? Hugo non è un giurista, non è un giudice né un procuratore, è un poeta e usa i mezzi che gli sono cari e propri, succede che, per favorire limmedesimazione del lettore nella figura del condannato lo spoglia di ogni riferimento biografico eO la souffrance! I didn't realize I had to read this whole thang for tomorrow until about 5.5 hours ago...now I'm a new person whose head hurts from all the Frenchy Frenchy. Still, I think I liked this book and I'm sure looking back I will see how beautiful est le langage de Victor Hugo, l'humanisation d'un homme déshumanisé par la peine de mort et la société française qui la supporte. Very modern to be against the death penalty in the early 1800s, but such was Victor Hugo. I'm p against it
les deux histoires sont sur la peine de mort et la souffrance morales et physiques des prisonniers jusquà la dernière minute de l'exécution de la peine à mort j'ai aimé plus l'histoire de Claude Gueux et voici quelques citations :" le gros peuple souffre! Que vous l'appeliez république ou que vous l'appeliez monarchie le peuple souffre ceci est un fait. Le peuple a fain le peuple a froid. La misère le pousse au crime ou au vice, selon le sexe. Ayez pitié du peuple, à qui le bagne prend ses fils
Possibly the only novel I ever read in French that I actually understood. I have always felt, somehow, that the credit for this belongs to my teacher, Josée Waring. This was the only traditional student-teacher experience that I had with her.
Je mentirais si je disais que je n'avais pas sauté quelques pages...J'ai tout de même apprécié ma lecture dans l'ensemble. Hugo propose un éloquent plaidoyer contre la peine de mort au XIXème siècle en France.
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand it is a very intriguing and thought-provoking read, but on the other hand it does grow stale in some sections.The first story, "Claude Gueux", has a nice pace, the characters are fleshed out nicely and the plot is captivating. An excellent short read.The second story, "The Last Day of a Condemned Man", left me a bit disappointed. It is an interesting concept and it is mostly well-executed, but at times it drags on. Aside from this minor issue,
I'm glad I read this in its original French, even if my own French is anything but perfect and I probably missed out on some of the writing's beauty as a result. I'm a fan of all things Victor Hugo, and I've read several of his other works, so this was a nice little bite-sized snippet of solid, classic French literature. However, in terms of the actual content, I'm not entirely convinced that Hugo's argument was completely successful. Hugo is very, very, very anti-death penalty, and as am I, but
