One of Hugo's most powerful works is presented with its companion piece A Comedy About a Tragedy, and Claude Geux, a real-life account of an executed criminal in FranceA first-person diary of a prisoner's final day before being executed for an unspecified crime, this 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. Graphically detailed, this first-person chronicle describes both the prisoner's wretched environment and his thoughts, reminiscences, and despair at his impending doom. As relevant today as when it was first published in 1829, this is an eloquent plea for compassion and a masterpiece of realist fiction.
