Publisher's summary
ジャン・ヴァルジャンの周りを中心に原作のおよそ半分以下にまとめた、こどものための「レ・ミゼラブル」です!!
童話作家 豊島与志雄による翻訳で世界的に超!!有名な作品をお子様といっしょに楽しんでみてはいかがでしょうか。
フランス革命後におとずれた激動の時代を舞台に、それぞれのキャラクターの思いが絡み合う長編大河小説。
かなしい世界観のなかに描かれた、愛と正義、誇りと信念が感動をあたえる作品です!
ヴィクトル・ユーゴーは10才のころから詩をつくり、若くしてりっぱな詩人でした。やがて20才後半のころにはすぐれた劇作家としても名をあげていました。
その後、政治的な活動の時代に移り、民主主義のために闘いました。
1851年、ナポレオン三世のクーデータに反抗し、18年間も国外追放の身となりました。
この追放期間中に完成したのが、「レ・ミゼラブル」です。
「レ・ミゼラブル」は、当時動乱の最中にあったフランスの社会情勢やそれによってもたらされた人々の生活をリアルに描かれています。
また、主人公「ジャン・ヴァルジャン」を知らない人は少ないほど、世界各国の母国語に翻訳されています。
飢えに苦しんでいた家族の為、たった一つのパンを盗み投獄されていたジャン・ヴァルジャンは19年後の1815年に仮釈放をされるも、世間からは冷たく扱われ、食べるものも寝る場所もなくさ迷っていました。
しかし一人の司教と出会い救われたジャン・ヴァルジャンは、これからは善い人間になろうと自らを「マドレーヌ」と名を改めました。
「マドレーヌ」となったジャン・ヴァルジャンは、ガラス玉製造に成功し、町や産業を発展させ、人々からも尊敬され、やがて市長になりました。
そんな中、重い病気にかかっている元女子工員 ファンティーヌとある約束をします。 その約束とは貧しくて手放してしまったファンティーヌの子供 コゼットを連れ戻し、母娘2人で再び暮らせるようにするということです。
コゼットを迎えようと考えていたある日、他の町でジャン・ヴァルジャンが捕まったことを知ります。
自分の身代わりに捕まった人物がいると思うと居ても立っても居られなくなり、法廷で自分がジャン・ヴァルジャンであると告白してしまいます。
追われる身となったジャン・ヴァルジャンは、ファンティーヌの前でジャヴェル警部に捕まります。
そして、コゼットとの新しい生活が送れないと知ったファンティーヌは苦しみもだえながら息を引き取りました。
しばらくののち、テナルディエ夫婦が営む宿屋で奴隷のようにこき使われていたコゼットの前にジャン・ヴァルジャンが現れます。
ジャン・ヴァルジャンは脱獄をしてきたのです。
テナルディエが拒む中、ファンティーヌの署名入りの書つけを見せ、ジャン・ヴァルジャンはやっとのことでコゼットを引き取ることができました。
やがてコゼットも大きくなりマリウスという少年と恋仲になります。
しかし、町では革命運動に賛同する学生や労働者の集まりであるABCの友が革命運動を起こそうと集まり始めていました。
さらにはジャン・ヴァルジャンを追うジャヴェル警部や、金に目がくらみ悪事を働くテナルディエたちも動き始めます。
それぞれの思惑が行きかうこの大きな流れにジャン・ヴァルジャン、コゼットやマリウス達は巻き込まれ、過酷な運命と向き合うことになります。
日本でも数々の翻訳がなされ、重厚な物語でありながらも教科書や児童向けの書籍になっるなど、大人から子供まで幅広い層の方々を魅了する一作となっております。

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.
