Title: The Last Day of a Convict & Claude Gueux
Summary: In Victor Hugo's gripping novel The Last Day of a Condemned Man , the reader experiences the inner struggle of a prisoner as he reflects on his life in the hours leading up to his execution. The story invites the reader to share his memories and fears, and to walk with him through each step of the journey to the guillotine. In Claude Gueux, Hugo recounts the life of a kind-hearted man caught in a web of social injustice who makes his journey from prison to the scaffold. Both works are powerful critiques of a practice still prevalent worldwide, and against which Victor Hugo fought his entire life: the death penalty.
