I am, to my knowledge, one of the few translators to have rendered all of Hugo’s magnificent novel without censorship. For there is a whole censorious tradition of translating Les Misérables. ” It’s cleaned up of rude words and vulgar images, which the translator views as offensive and unnecessary, as though Hugo’s use of such words and images was accidental or abhorrent. This is not merely losing bite and punch. Much more seriously, it’s misreading the entire book. For if Les Misérables can be reduced to a meaning, it is surely the connection Hugo is forever making between the sewer and society, the gutter and the stars.

Hugo, too, was a monument, a man of huge appetite and lust for life. Keeping pace with this monumental man is a very physical challenge.
