For all the numbskulls posting about some version other than the BOOK, the point OP is making is that the book is a work of genius. Hugo's novels changed laws in France. That, imo, is the test of greatness--does your work affect the future constructively.

I love the part about the boy, the mudlark, who lives in the elephant. The whole book is so f-ing amazing if you don't read it, you're a deadbeat.
