"Le Dernier jour d'un condamné (The Last Day of a Condemned Man in English) is Victor Hugo's plea against the death penalty. He tells us the story of a man who is going to be to execute but the reader ignores the crime which committed the condemned person. Hugo give away us only his reflections and his feelings in front of his trial and his execution. The strength of this work lies in its timelessness and the condemned person does not represent a particular man but the mankind. We can transpose easily this story into another country or in an another time and it is the reason of the beauty of this book. It is a book easy to read and very short which merit to be discovered."
C'est un monologue interne racontant les mésaventures de cette personne, dont on ne connaîtra jamais ni son nom, ni le fait incriminé qui l'a conduit à la guillotine. Le monologue est parfois entrecoupé de réflexions angoissées (souffrances morales et physiques quotidiennes, conditions de vie en tant que prisonnier, ses états d'âme) ainsi que de souvenirs d'avant le crime.
Dénonciation sociale qui n'est, à mon avis, pas toujours intéressante, écrit de manière relativement pompeuse, mais l'histoire est rapidement lue. Drame juridique avec beaucoup d'imagination!"
"O livro relata os pensamentos e sentimentos de um condenado à morte durante as seis semanas que antecedem a sua execução. Tendo sido escrito como um manifesto contra a pena de morte, impressiona pela sua actualidade."
