The narrative follows the last hours of an anonymous prisoner condemned to the guillotine, whose identity and crime are never revealed. Through his inner monologue, Hugo conveys the anguish, hopelessness and flashes of hope of a man awaiting execution, in an indictment against the death penalty.

Recommended for readers of French classics and for those seeking a 19th-century work of social denunciation.
French novelist, poet and dramatist, leading figure of Romanticism and author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
