How can I thus write when every point of his eloquence has already failed, and been unanswerably refuted! TWENTY-NINTH PAPER. THE Priest returned. He has white hair, a very gentle look, a good and respectable countenance, and is a charitable man. This morning I saw him empty his purse into the hands of the prisoners. Whence is it then that his voice causes no emotion, and he does not ever seem affected by his own theme? Whence is it that he lias as yet said nothing which has won on my intellect or my heart? This morning I was bewildered; I scarcely heard what he said; his words seemed, to me useless, and I remained indifferent; they glided away like those drops of rain off the window-panes of my cell Nevertheless, when he came just now to my room, his appearance did me good. Amongst all mankind he is the only one who is still a brother for me, I reflected; and I felt an ardent thirst for good and consoling words. When he was seated on the chair, and I on the bed, he said to me, -- "My son, --" This word opened my heart. He continued: "My son, do you believe in God?" "Oh, yes, Father!" I answered him. "Do you believe in the holy Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Church?" "Willingly," said I. "My son," returned he, "you have an air of douht." Then he hegan to speak. He spoke a long time; he uttered a quantity of words. Then, when he had finished, he rose, and looked at me for the first time since the beginning of his discourse, and said "Well?" I protest I had listened to him with avidity at first, then with attention, then with consideration. I also rose and said, "Sir, leave me for a time, I beg of you." He asked, " When shall I return." "I will let you know, Sir." Then he withdrew in silence, but shaking his head as though inwardly...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Last Day of a Condemned Man (1829) is a short novel by Victor Hugo. Having witnessed several executions by guillotine as a young man, Hugo devoted himself in his art and political life to opposing the death penalty in France. Praised by Dostoevsky as “absolutely the most real and truthful of everything that Hugo wrote,” The Last Day of a Condemned Man is a powerful story from an author who defined nineteenth century French literature. If you knew when and where you would die, how would you spend your final moments? For Hugo’s unnamed narrator, such an existential question is made reality. Sentenced to death for an unspecified crime, he reflects on his life as its last seconds wane in the shadows of a cramped prison cell. Recording his emotional state, observations, and conversations with a priest and fellow prisoner, the condemned man forces us to not only recognize his humanity, but question our own. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Victor Hugo’s The Last Day of a Condemned Man is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Under Sentence of Death" by Victor Hugo is a narrative of a man who is sentenced to die. The author displays thoughts of such a man, all the mental torture, and physical stress he experiences during the hours which are about to advance towards his planned execution. Excerpt: "Sentenced to death! For five whole weeks have I lived with this one thought, always alone with it, always frozen by its ghastly presence, always crushed beneath its overwhelming weight. At first, years ago, as it seemed, not mere weeks as it really was, I was a man like any other. Every day, every hour, every minute was ruled by its own idea. My intellect, young and fresh, lost itself in a world of fantasy. I amused myself in mapping out a life without order, and without end, weaving into a thousand fantastic patterns the coarse and slender tissue of my existence. There were lovely girls, cardinals' copes, victories won, theatres full of life and light, and then again the young girls, and walks in the twilight under the spreading boughs of the chestnut trees. My imagination always pictured scenes of pleasure. My thoughts were free, and therefore I was free also."
