Les Misérables Victor Hugo 1903 D.C. Heath French Abridged Hardcover O.B. Super

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo is a 1903 D.C. Heath and Company hardcover edition, abridged and edited with notes, introduction, and vocabulary by O.B. Super.

This compact classroom edition presents Hugo's classic largely in French and was prepared as a language study text rather than as the full English translation most readers know today. Its smaller format, green cloth binding, and editorial vocabulary apparatus make it especially interesting for collectors of early language textbooks, French literature, and Victor Hugo.
