A first-person diary of a prisoner's final day before being
executed for an unspecified crime, Victor Hugo's poignant tale
vividly conveys the mental anguish of a man confronted with the
intransigent mechanism of justice, as his mind seeks refuge in
recollections from his past and philosophical musings on his
inevitable fate. As relevant today as when it was first published
in 1829, The Last Day of a Condemned Man is an eloquent plea for
compassion and a masterpiece of realist fiction. This edition
includes the Preface to the 1832 edition of the book, a manifest of
Hugo's personal opinions, 'A Comedy about a Tragedy' and 'Claude
Gueux', an early example of "true crime" fiction.
