Ideal for a comprehensive approach to Hugo's poetry

Together in a pocket size very substance of the poetry of Victor Hugo's not easy. This was achieved with this edition, which incorporates the best known poems and has a rich annotation work, with beautiful illustrations - some of Hugo himself.

The only (minor) criticism we can make this edition is its excess balance. Indeed, an almost equal number of poems for each of collections of the author has been retained. That is to put on an equal footing masterpieces such as punishment or Contemplations and most gentillet "Art of being a grandfather" for example.

But do not spoil our fun. This anthology seems more relevant on the pocket book market.
