Excerpt from Paris Days and Evenings Since you request it, I attest here the little adventure of this sack. It travelled with me fifteen hundred miles in 1861, when I left Guernsey on account of my health. I carried with me the manuscript of 'les Miserables, ' which I completed on route. I put the manuscript in this sack, and this sack, which I did not abandon for a moment, voyaged with me in England, Belgium, and Holland five months from March 26th to September 3rd, 1861. Guernsey, May 21, 1863. Victor hugo. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
