Ninety-Three

"Ninety-Three is a sublime work of art, a triumph of the imagination and the spirit." - Leo Tolstoy

A new 2023 translation into American English from the original French manuscripts of Victor Hugo's classic 1874 "Ninety-Three" (Quatrevingt-treize).

"Ninety-Three" is Hugo's final and most advanced novel. It is a historical novel set during the French Revolution exploring themes of justice, loyalty, and sacrifice through the story of a royalist officer who becomes caught up in the revolutionary violence. It is broadly considered Hugo's deepest and most intricate novel, even surpassing Les Misérables.
