A good translation makes or breaks a book.

If you're going to read a foreign book, always research the translation first.

IIRC, the primary copy of Les Misérables (the one with the nice cover) is the public domain translation from 100 years ago, vs. the two more recent excellent Penguin translations (1982, 2015).
