Description
In this profoundly moving milestone by the author of Les Misérables, a condemned man writes of his mental anguish inside the walls of a prison. With six weeks of life left to him before facing the guillotine--for a crime that is never revealed--he looks back on the events of his life. Includes a new introduction by anti-death-penalty activist David Dow.--Publisher description.
