The edition I'm reading was published in 1963 by Éditions du Seuil, and it's the second volume of a collection of novels called L'Integrale. It's a beautiful hardcover edition, 566 pages, illustrated by twelve drawings by Victor Hugo; the cover shows a painting by Willette. I've just bought it from a used bookstore ( Read more... )
