Books in the Leather-bound Classics series

The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.';So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Miserables cannot fail to be of use,' says Victor Hugo in the preface of his famous novel. Certainly, Les Miserables is French history recounted through the personal stories of its main characters. The tale offers philosophical insight on the good deeds that can happen even amidst ignorance and poverty. This handsome volume is a beautiful addition to any classic literature library.
