Book Description
Although Victor Hugo is better known for his novels (most famously, 'Les Misérables' and 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'), he also wrote extensively for the stage. 'Reward: 1000 Francs' is the first English translation of Victor Hugo's 1866 play 'Mille francs de récompense,' one of Hugo's last dramas. The plot plays with the conventions of melodrama. An impoverished family finds themselves in the clutches of a greedy, lustful businessman. Their fate seems grim, but the witty thief Glapieu (described by some critics as a cross between Gavroche and Jean Valjean) takes them under his wing. He is determined to force a happy ending, even if it means breaking the law. He provides biting social and theatrical commentary along the way. This edition includes a brief introduction and explanatory footnotes.
